The role were given, Should we except it?

                                                                   Excepted or Denied

Everyone has different roles to play in life,and we should except the role we are given? I have to completely disagree with this, because just because someone lables you as something it is not always who you are. In these articles they all give different examples of how society looks at a group to judge them, and the group excepts the judgment as their reallity.

 

If you are  not sure what I am talking about I will give you an example, that applies to my life. Ok as you all know my race, some people feel that it is their place to categorize me. People often love to ask me whether I like koolaid or fried chicken which are both tacky sterio types. I feel the color of my skin has nothing to do with the piece of meat I prefer or the drink I like best. I have grown a tolerance for the childish jokes; because I have realized if I react how it is expected, I will be placed back in the race box.

 

It is a sad truth that people want to be excepted so bad they will except this harsh title, that is placed above their heads. If someone says you are a killer, because your father was a killer, why would you except that. Sometimes we have to listen to what people say, and decide for ourselves if we like the way that sounds, when someone is referring to you.

 

 

The role are given in life, should we except it? I would not, but can you? Sure. If you like for people to judge you based on someone in the past, hey that is cool for you. Live in a box, and except the role you were given. Once you take the role, it is your responsibillity.
