'You have to ignore it and just be who you are.' 'But how can you feel good about yourself when your skin is brown, when the whole world is looking at you...' 'The whole world isn't looking at you that way.' said Micah, 'only ignorant, foolish people. What should you care what they think?' 'But it still sometimes hurts to be black.' 'Yeah, maybe,' Micah nodded. 'I know the feeling, but a long time ago I had to decide what it meant to be me, not white, black, not what anyone else says or thinks I should be ... but just me. Who I thought I was, who I really was, who God wanted me to be -- that was all that mattered. Once I came to terms and made my peace with that, then I was able to live with my self no matter what anyone thought.\" 'But doing that's not so easy.' 'No, not easy at all,' nodded Micah. 'But if you're black, or brown like you say, or different in any way, you've got no choice. You've got to ignore the looks and just be who you are. Otherwise you'll get angry and bitter yourself and then you're no better than they are. An angry black person is just as bad as an arrogant white person. I wouldn't want to be either.”",
