Hi! Today I took the exams and tomorrow I will have two more.
Continuing the speech of yesterday about the color of the skin, I never see difference until now.
I remember when I was younger, I couldn't see the difference between me and my classmates, only when I looked at my hands I could see it.
I don't used to have contact with my dad's family and since my dad left I only live with my mom's part of the family; so before I came here I never thought that I'm half African, I never realized it.
I met a girl in my school here and she was my friend ever in the USA and she asked me one day: "do you have black friends in Italy?"
I hesitated and then I answered: "no I don't" and I looked on my phone and I showed her pictures of my friends and me. That one was the first time that I realized it. And I think to be the only "black" friend that my closer friends have.
Then some of my "black" friends at school, when they play songs on their phone, they ask me if I know some of them, I usually answer that I don't know then and they say: " you are black and you don't know this song and this singer".
I don't think that matter the color of your skin with who you are.
Here I can feel the difference, but I think and I know that is because of the past.
