What's Your Background, Set?
What's your background, Set? A question I hear a lot whether it be in the literary world, investigative/ security sector or amongst my art community. Sometimes amongst long forgotten friends and acquaintances. Though in those instances, it's mostly intended to mean about my ethnicity. By which I reply with exasperation, "Black" because who has time to list out all the different types of black only to be mostly met with a hotep or self-hating reply. "So you're mixed. Wow, lucky." or "You're Arab." or my favourite, "Ethiopians are not black, they are Semites." I always find it amusing when folks will ask you your background only to impose their narrative on it. This article is not to set the record straight but rather an introduction on who I am and what my narrative is.
