I was listening to the song below and there is a line in the verse that says "read the books your father read" and my initial response was "yow that's a lot of books" but then it hit me, that I am being a stereotypical black person. The saying is "If you want to hide something from a black person, hide it in a book." I don't read enough. Heck, I don't even read the required readings for my courses. So I am going to challenge myself to read, and not tweets or Facebook statuses, but things of actual substance. I complain about Canada messing up my not so extravagant vocabulary. It is my responsibility to ensure that I have not completely destroyed myself and that I am able to have a good conversation with persons of all educational backgrounds. My challenge is to read more.
Enjoy the song =)
Feel free to comment. Thanks.
