Walter Beach III

Who I am

I am Black in attitude. I am Black in behavior. I am Black in belief and thought. I am African in spirit. I accept and acknowledge the fact of my African 'self being' intuitively and have developed the cognitive strength to function as a Black Man in America. As an African Black man, my hypocrisy manifests as silent rage! I must decide what my relationship to racism will be. I am a man of peace and love. I am a man of my people. "I do not speak falsely for I am great. I do not act lightly for I have weight. I am not untrue for I am the balance. I do not swerve for I am the standard" The Husia
