My dear,
Ever notice how many kids side down, open an X-Men comic book, and then start dreaming about wanting to be one of them?
Just be someone who dreams everyday of leaving that U.S. ghetto for a better a life (and can). Just be someone who’s peers shun him because they too recognize that he can escape when they can’t (the crabs in a bucket effect). Just be someone who, even when he escapes, will be tested over and over by the rest of the world due to his skin color.
I gotta tell you, being an X-Man takes a toll on you. If anything choose rather the path of the normal-man.. being an X-Man is the hardest thing you’ll ever choose to be (but for some it’s worth it I suppose).
Falsely yours,
Junot Diaz
