I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes.... Even in the helter-skelter skirmish that is my life, I have seen that the world is to the strong regardless of a little pigmentation more or less. No, I do not weep at the world - I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife. ~Zora Neale Hurston, How It Feels to Be Colored Me, 1928
Please take a look at these quotes and discuss the difference in the tone. Which to you prefer?
I swear to the Lord
I still can't see
Why Democracy means
Everybody but me.
~Langston Hughes
