Why do people label things black or white?
You talk white
You talk black
Why is it labeled like that?
You walk like a black man.
No, I don’t; my foot just hurts.
You look like a white man.
Because I am
Some black men
Call a successful black man a “sellout.”
Because he has a lot
Why do you associate with the white man?
He’ll make a fool of you.
Don’t go near a black man.
He’ll rob and kill you.
Do you tan to be black
Do you want to be white?
Is that why you always fight
Do you want a white man for a brother?
Do you want a black man for a brother?
It should be both or the other.
The other is to always hate each other.
