The sun rises on both sides.


Trejo (2007), in his poem “the little black boy” points out some features that make a black child think about the differences that he lives in contrast with white children. The black boy tries to find the reasons that lead the human beings to act the way the act in front of white person and in front of a white one. The black boy asks some questions to his mother and she tries to explain him that the differences only occur in the tangible world, which is the one they live. She says in the intangible world, every single person will be treated the same way; there will not be any differences.
The author relates the tangible and intangible characteristics of the world to god. He states that the differences people may live will be experienced just in present live but not in heaven.
I appreciate the way the author refers to discrimination as a good way to deal with this issue. It has been seen along years that people who suffer this problematic situation experiment horrible psychological problems. So, as a way to help them to overcome this awkward situation, they can believe in god and all the benefits they will get once they arrive to heaven.
