I was talking to a white Caucasian man one day and after he said “I’m White” I remembered Joel Osteen saying “I’m White” while doing a sermon about Mary Bethune the great African American woman pioneer who founded Bethune-Cookman College an HBCU. A racist white man once said “Mary is not no African/Black name”. I thought my name is Ayesha Karim, my name is of Arabic origin like many African American women and Hispanic women born after 1970. I still remember the popular Hispanic woman singer Thalia Soda and how pretty her Arabic name is. The Arabic language is a part of Spanish language. Many Arabs or North Africans have black eyes like many African Americans and Hispanics. I learned that when I took Hispanic Culture my last semester at Mercer in the Spring of 2007. It was a very interesting course to take. I got an A in it too!
An African American woman with an Arabic name. I am Ayesha Karim.
