Ethnic Responsibility

I did not ask to be born into this black body. While I am here I have certain responsibilities. I am responsible for providing the children like me with as much space to reach their potential as I can. I do not have anything but the systems that I offer, but that is the fault of their parents. I have a responsibility to behave like I am a part of the human family and not just entertainment for the rest of the world. I have a responsibility to treat the air I breathe and resources that I consume with the respect they deserve. I have a responsibility to manage what goes into my body as well as what comes out of it. It is the responsibilities that make the days past. I don't know how I'm going to carry out these responsibilities as a member of an ethnic group that just wants to find comfortable places to ride out their time, but it is my responsibility to figure out how.
