Don't HaTe me because, I'm BlaCk....

Since, the recent publicized issue of race that has unfolded in this weeks political happenings. I felt compelled to write this Poem.

Black is Beautiful why can't you see.
Black is the reason you want to be me
Black is the truth it always stands tall,
It never alters, it never falls.

You sold me to the highest bidder
And stripped all of my Soul,
No matter What I will always be bold
You Fear
my body, my beauty, my Brain
because you knew one day I will
REIGN
.

"We have all been faced (publicly) with the harsh reality of racism. I have always known it still exist. Behind closed doors perhaps, but nevertheless it remains in our hearts. I suspect there are people maybe many and not few who strongly believe they are still superior to blacks because they are white. Fear and lies are what binds ignorant thoughts and actions. When the stakes are high and power is threatened. We now see racism in an open ugly fashion that I hoped we had progressed from".

Looks like we still have more work to do.

Signed:
Don't hate me because, I'm black.

black is beautful, both inside and out.

I couldn't agree more. So, y are we so stuck as a people. y do whites think they r superior to us?

I also think the American Indians was treated very badly too. very badly.
