"You haven't seen the scar." He said he hadn't looked. "You can feel it," I said... "You can feel it, can't you?" He said yes. I thought he was going to take his hand away, but he waited for me to. "
I believe black love is extraordinary because when you face oppression and hatred with someone and feel the same pains, it builds a bond that is compared to none. I chose to post this song by the rap group Goodie Mob called "Beautiful Skin" because I heard it a bunch when I was younger. It gives a man's stance on the idea of black love and the beauty in loving a black woman. This idea was instilled in me at an early age so black love has always been more than just love to me.
I like the fact that you were able to relate what we learned in class to a song, a Goodie Mob song at that. Toward the end of Cee-Lo's verse, I can see where the quote you used from "Corregidora" is relevant. Nice selection.
