Is it because of my color that i’m considered worthless? Is it because of the color on my skin why i’m treated different from the others. I wonder why the color of my skin defines me. Why can’t we all just be equal? Whether I am black or white, I should be respected. The first thing people see about me is my color, which bases their views on me. Is it because I am black that I don’t deserve love? Is because I am black that you think you can run over me? I didn’t choose my skin complexion. Honestly, I love the skin I am in and I will never wish to change it. If I were white would you love me? If I were white would you spare my life and allow me a chance in living? Would you allow me to see sixteen, eighteen or even twenty one? If I were to fall in love with a white man would you try to harm me? Will you call me names, whisper and stare. Is it because I am black that gives you a right to shoot me? Does it give you a right to beat my brothers up on the street. To pull guns out on them until you see them bleed.
