Title: I'm Not Black. ..When people see me they see black. When
people meet me They hear white. What's up with that? I'll tell you
what: The color of my skin The pigment in my tone The melanin I'm
in Is black.The way I talkThe way I act The way I walk And my
character someone how Is white. People say, People have the nerve
to say to my face "you're not black." And what do I say back?I
laugh and say, "you're right, I'm white Because I speak clearly,
don't act hood and ain't out here callin' people my n*ggas."But
what does that matter?Why is black an adjective of my lack of
character?Why is white a adjective of my total character?It's
freckin’ annoying. It's ignorant. And I'm more than that.
