OK finally I am able to put into words what I have been pondering as well as what has been annoying me. Annoying in the sense of curiosity, pondering in the sense of a deep and meaningful reflection because the stakes are of a level of a nation. No my intentions are not that of changing the world, I just hope to be heard somewhere in this world.

I am a Black (African) American living in France for the past 25+ years. Due to that number 25+, when I left America, I was Afro, today its African and in between I have simply settled for American. Living abroad has taught me that the color question is really an American phenomenon. Here in Europe it is your country of origin, which makes all the difference, if you are expulsed or politely asked to get your papers in order.

But that is not my reason for writing as mentioned above there are some things that I have pondered and have finally found the words to describe the image which answers my questions concerning this US Presidential campaign.
