Black Assimilation: Su·per·ca·li·fra·gil·is·tic·ex·pi·a·li·do·cious

This week I talk about black assimilation and what it looks like. Sometimes we are bending our cultural beliefs, values, and behavior for a society that will only accept us if we look, act, and think like them. We lose ourselves and our culture trying to survive and fit in to make society comfortable. How can we expect change if we are the only ones changing?
