RUNOKO RASHIDI WITH AN ABORIGINAL WOMAN IN SOUTH INDIA.  I GET SO ANNOYED WHEN I HEAR PEOPLE SAY, "THERE ARE NO BLACK PEOPLE IN INDIA!"  INDIA IS NOT A MONOLITHIC COUNTRY, ANYMORE THAN THE UNITED STATES IS.  BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE FIRST PEOPLE--THE ABORIGINAL OR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF INDIA.  AND THEY SUFFER TERRIBLY.  AND THESE ARE NOT THE SAME PEOPLE WHO OWN THE GAS STATIONS AND SHOPS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND TREAT YOU LIKE DIRT!  THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE--THE FIRST PEOPLE OF INDIA.  AND I HAVE BEEN WITH THEM.  WAKE UP SISTERS AND BROTHERS!  THERE IS A WORLD COMMUNITY OF BLACK PEOPLES THAT EXTENDS FROM ANGOLA TO AUSTRALIA AND FROM SENEGAL TO THE SOUTH PACIFIC.  AND THEIR STRUGGLES ARE REMARKABLY SIMILAR!
