a continuation of what i wrote above because i hit add before i had intended...
tunde is saying that it's disturbing that little black boys and girls are working in squalid conditions, and even having their hands cut off because someone thinks they are stealing diamonds; all the while, black men and women are out flaunting how many diamonds they have. to him, it goes beyond irony. he says, "Once you see a picture of some kid who is working in one of these places with no hand, you realize that the hand got cut off for the same diamonds that this person in Long Island is wearing, like eighteen of the on a chain? you can't juxtapose those two images. And, also, for me, put into account the fact that both of these people are black. That messes with me on an even deeper level." |
