Embrace your culture

This past weekend I was watching a documentary entitled Hidden Colors and it's about how Europeans covered up most African American culture. Influential ladies and gentlemen were talking about the African American culture from the beginning. I learned a lot and it was so much information. It was so informative and a very well made documentary. As I was watching this documentary, I was thinking that everybody should embrace one's culture. A culture might not have the brightest past but the future is always evolving so the bottom line is to embrace one's culture. For example, the Jewish culture is associated with the Holocaust and obviously they are not proud of that but the future should be the focus, not the past. We can always look at the past as a reminder that we have came from along way from where we were but we shouldn't dwell on the past. We also shouldn't disrespect any culture because every culture has their own traditions different than yours. Culture can be associated with religion, customs and rituals. These are just some regular daily activities that people do. Different traditions doesn't make a culture superior than another, it just means that all cultures are different and nothing is wrong with that.  Embrace one's culture and your culture.
