I never in a million years thought I would raise a family in NYC, in the United States period. When I moved here I experienced discrimination and racism for the first time in my life. It was shocking and unbelievable that in the year 2000 there was so much hate amongst people. Lately with all the shootings between cops and the black community and the #blacklivesmatter movement, I’ve been more aware of my new normal. My husband is black. My kids are part black, and even though they are still little, my 5yr old is starting to ask questions. Questions I knew were coming, but I wasn’t ready for. Why are you and papi different? This year is the first time he learned about Martin Luther King. I had never really touched the subject of race, but after my visit to the National Civil Rights Museum last year. Being there at the Lorraine Motel was a surreal experience. Mainly because I had never thought so deeply about race, that visit really changed my perspective and my reality.

Now why am I thinking about this? Well today as we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. and I stumble about a post on Jada Pinkett Smith boycotting the Oscars because of the lack of black nominees. In another world I would ignore all this complaining about things that are not really “important”, but I do watch the Oscars so I was curious. This is the video she posted.

I started thinking about her words. Yes, she has a point, but coming from an actress that has made millions of dollars in the same industry she is now boycotting, seems a bit hypocritical in my opinion. Then came Aunt Viv, you know from The Fresh Prince, and made a video which made such much more sense.

Janet Hubert explains how she feels about Jada asking to boycott the awards. I agree with Mrs. Hubert but I just didn’t like the way she sent her message. If she would’ve had a different tone then the message would’ve been much clearer. At the end of the day I understand they both mean we need to focus more on equality especially on a day like today, that is so important for the Civil Rights movement and for the human race. Bringing it back to my children, I hope some day in the future this is not something they have to worry about. I hope that Dr. Kings word keep staying alive and hope that one day all those dreams become a reality and we are finally equal.
