How it feels to be colored me

I agreed with this authors position about society. I like the way that she presented a different aspect of colored viewpoint. She held the belief that people are people irreguardless of their history and that they should take repsonsibility for their own actions as a race. She believes that the colored race needs to move on and take responsibility for their own advancement. She basically is saying that the past is history and the Colored race needs to move past the discrimination.
Ms. Hurston, still claimed to be more at ease with people of her own color. She felt thatshe was out of place when around whites. This makes her understand how it feels to be on the other end of the sword. She can relate to Whites feeling out of place and uncomfortable in a reversed situation.

I like the way he interpreded what the autor was saying in the fact that dwelling on the past will get you now where whats done is done and you cant change the past you can only change the future and to make it further you need to live for the future not live thinking constantly about the past.
