*inspired by episode 5 of The Falcon & The Winter Soldier*
Caron Nazario: Red, White, & Black
to be a black man in america.
who am i?
am i african? am i american? cause it can't be both.
i have no connection to africa. all of that history was erased.
i sacrifice my life for this country and come home to harassment & brutality.
this uniform doesn't matter, this rank doesn't matter.
so does this flag really matter?
i mean it has to because if we don't stand for it than our careers are over.
but if we do stand for it than our lives are over.
do i love myself if i fight for this country?
am i a self-respecting black man?
did slavery really end?
cause me and my people are still bound mentally in these chains.
