I’m 19. In America that gives me free license to be as stupid as I want to be. It’s expected for me to know nothing and do nothing, especially concerning politics and social issues.
To break it down, knowing about politics and social issues is like doing extra credit for a class you already have a B in. Sure, you could do it and do better, but why?
For whatever reason, I never quite grasped that mentality fully, at least not when it comes to current events. Perhaps, I should blame it on the fact of me being raised by a border-line socialist mother who grew up in 60′s New York attending a pro-Black, Black Panther-funded school. Maybe, it’s my father’s constantly playing of Nina Simone and Billie Holiday while discussing the meaning behind Langston Hughes poems. Or maybe, it was just because I read too many Alex Haley books in middle school. Whatever the reason, I always had a deep concern and conscious-ness of the world around me.
That’s why when this BP oil spill ‘thing’ happened, I was utterly ashamed that I didn’t know what was going on. What’s even more embarrassing is I still don’t fully understand the crisis. I don’t even have opinions, just questions because none of this really makes logical sense.
