I think part of it is accepting
that it's so much beauty
in being black
and that's the thing that
I guess I get emotional about
because I've always known that
I've always been proud
to be black
Never wanted to be nothing else
Loved everything about it just
It's such beauty in black people
and it really saddens me
when we're not allowed to express
that pride in being black
and that if you do
then it's considered anti-white
No You just pro-black
And that's okay
The two don't go together
Because you celebrate
black culture does not mean
that you don't like white culture
or that you putting it down
It's just taking pride in it
but what's irritating is
when somebody says
you know They're racist
That's reverse racism or
They have a Black History Month
but we don't have
a White History Month
Well all we've ever been
taught is white history
So why are you mad at that
Why does that make you angry
That is to suppress me
and to make me not be proud
