My Race Is More Than A Social Construct

I inherited my race from my mother, and my father, and all my other ancestors. Intellectuals cannot
detect race in me. But I can see it. For all those who cannot see it in me, do realize I see it in myself.
Nearly any species on earth endemic to Africa can be biologically identified as African. I'm glad of it.
I don't intellectualize the social part of it at all times, though I do admit there is a multi-layered social
aspect to my identity. That admission means little to intellectuals, however; it's enough for me.
