When I woke up at age 5, I realized I was not black or white. Our differences make us unique, and to embrace them with understanding can give one the confidence and self-esteem needed to take on the world. The color of one's skin is brown; however, they are called black. Whereas even though a Caucasian's skin is really not white, they are called white, so metaphorically speaking, if a white person and a black person has a child together, gray they would be, thus, Black, White, or Gray Like Me
