Black!
Yeah, I'm black!
And I'm damn proud of that
Why is being black so bad?
Is it a crime?
Guess they decide that...
We've been in chains for so long and I'm tired...
"Black is me"
The most powerful line I ever heard!
They limit our education
And then turn us into the bad guys
Funny huh...
They stereotype us day by day,
And then make it our fault...
"You're black so you are..."
I'll let you finish that sentence!
Yeah, I know not all black people are good,
But not everyone is either...
You don't like it if we put y'all in the same category,
but it don't stop you from doing it to us huh...
It shouldn't be about the colour of my skin...
but do they care?
It's getting tiring trying to be "acceptable"
But that ain't enough for them either!
I'm not trying to start nothin but I'm tired...

In my many years of life I have treated all with respect no matter what colour, creed or sexuality. What matters is what is inside each person that comes out for others to see.
I do hope all will be good for you in your life.

Thank you so much
(in the words of that wise sister, India Arie:
'Hey (hey)
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am not your expectations, no (hey)
I am not my hair
I am not this skin
I am the soul that lives within'
from the song 'I'm not my hair')
thanks for sharing
Happy New Year
Thanks a lot this poem was everything!
Omg this is fu$%ing LEGENDARY!!!
Thank you for this poem and declaration and grievance and prayer!
Human rights is pivotal for me, that's why most of my poems center on it, and this poem is so forthright and interrogative.
Just know that your are loved, regardless of the color of your skin.
Black people are some of the realest and kindest people I have ever met!
Amen and hallelujah to this message for equality!
Thank youuuuu
