It is quite sad how peoples' thoughts are channeled into narrow, one-dimensional views of themselves & the world. Through the filters of artificial constructs like race and ethnicity, we label and box people into our cognitive cages & oversimplify / negate their complex lives & circumstances - they're either "this" or "that" and nothing more. So when I saw this video today, I just had to shake my head and sigh as individuals like the young man featured are everywhere - they're just invisible. You see, criminals get the full spotlight and make for more "exciting" stories than those who are trying to make positive changes in their lives and communities. Many of us know how the game is run - you know, he who controls the image (media) controls the mind of the public - so it is important that we set the record straight whenever we can. This young man's story is but one of many extraordinary examples of talent so great, that were it not for the fact of geography & politics, the possibilities would be endless...... I hope videos like this can inspire our young ones to dream & reach for the stars.
