You Are What You Are

After watching Spike Lee’s film “Bamboozled” one question has been brought to my attention. What makes a black man? Many people ponder the question of what makes a person a man; perhaps its courage or dependability. However there seems to be more precise specifications to be a black man. In “Bamboozled” black men were accused of not being black because of the way they acted. Personally, I think if a male is dependable, honest and lives up to his word he is a man. If an African-American is those things and has acknowledged his culture and embraced it fully then he is a black man.
