Quote:
"I am an invisible man. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids - and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me."
~ Ralph Ellison
This quote I can relate too. I am invisible because I am a woman. I am invisible because I am a man. I am invisible because I am a child, teenager, college student, elderly. I am invisible because I am handicapped. I am invisible because I am blind. I am invisible because I am deaf. I am invisible because I am Jewish, Muslim, Sufi, Catholic, Baptist, Lutheran. I am invisible because I am Black, Spanish, American Indian, Oriental, Italian, German, Irish. I am invisible because I am poor, middle class, rich. I am invisible because I am a veteran. Ralph Ellison has a simple answer to all this hate it is "people refuse to see me."
