Favorite Quote

"I thought it would be easier if we were just one color, black or white. I didn't want to be white. My siblings had already instilled the notion of black pride in me. I would have preferred that Mommy were black. Now, as a grown man, I feel privileged to have come from two worlds." I like this quote because he went through a complete attitude transformation during the changing from childhood to adulthood. He went from hating his mother's race to feeling blessed to have come from a mixed race union. And it shows the real person that James really is and how he admires his family.
