Being Black in South Florida
We gathered a panel of women to discuss what it’s like to be black in South Florida and the U.S. today. What defines a person--their cultural heritage or the color of their skin?

What a very intelligent and beautiful panel. I really enjoyed the discussion especially being from the Caribbean. However, I'm actually on the flip side, having grown up as part of the white minority in the islands. I've definitely received my share discrimination due to colour. Growing up "white" in the Caribbean as a minority made me sensitive to differences in colour, but didn't foster any feelings of racism. The reason being is that although white's are the minority, an overwhelming proportion of them are above the poverty line. This affords Caribbean whites both social and economical privileges, even amongst discriminating peers. This I believe acts to soften the harsher effects of racism against whites in Caribbean. The combination of poverty and discrimination is most difficult to overcome and this tandem continues to play against blacks in America.
