Here because Beyoncé in Black is King used his quote “ When it’s all said and done, I don’t even know my own native tongue,”. “And if I can’t speak myself, I can’t think myself. And if I can’t think myself, I can’t be myself. And if I can’t be myself, I will never know me. So Uncle Sam, tell me this: If I will never know me, how can you?”. Thought that was amazing and wanted to here more
I love this, but the part about teaching children English first, I was the opposite. African first then English. They will learn in school easily as I did. Culture is important and my children will be the same way God willing.
I felt this. I mean, it's different, but my dad was born and raised in Italy and never taught me any of his culture/ the language, so I always feel a bit like a fake when I say I'm Italian or when I'm by his family. My mom's from the country, but I grew up in the suburbs, so while my cousins can claim certain things, I'm stuck between. Too American for my dad but not country enough for my mom.
This young man made me question my own identity as a biracial women who grew up in a white family. Society sees me one way, while I identify as another.

They taught him English first then they were supposed to teach his native language but it would have been hard also he learnt Spanish in school as a subject. When they got around to teaching him his native tongue he was already disconnected with who he was and confused (this is mostly assumptions)
where youre from is Spanish a required course? Majority schools in America have Spanish as a required course and African languages arent even an option

So...his family didn't teach him his native language? But he knows both English and Spanish...
They taught him English first then they were supposed to teach his native language but it would have been hard also he learnt Spanish in school as a subject. When they got around to teaching him his native tongue he was already disconnected with who he was and confused (this is mostly assumptions)
