Race & Smokey Robinson - My thoughts

I'm thinking everyone is afraid to comment on the below video by Smokey Robinson. Having said that maybe some of you are afraid to watch it due to the bad language...if that is the case let me assure you there are only 2 words in the whole video. But since no one is commenting, I will give you my perspective on the video.

What I found interesting was

• His perspective on the fact that the black American race is the only race who's name is a "trend"
• If America is so bad "why is there so many coming, and so few leaving"
• his idea of being and American American - he's not from Africa and if he went to Africa no one would claim him as one of them
• his idea about moving forward in progress instead of dwelling in the past
• Amos/Andy in relation to The Beverly Hillbillies

What I didn't agree with

• I don't think Adam was black. I do however think Adam was a perfect shade of brown (which would be much darker than the average white person) and that within his DNA was the ability to produce every shade of color found on the face of the earth today.
• Garden of Eden - in Africa?

I am certainly not black but I do have a black husband who feels the same way about the whole African American name. Though I didn't agree with everything, I thought a lot of what he said was worth pondering. If you haven't watched it, go ahead...it's funny and interesting.
