AM I BLACK ENOUGH?

I have been told that I can not talk about the African American Experience

Because I did not grow up pour,I come from a "good"home,I have a "good" head on

My shoulders.By my friends,family,in the comment section on social media

on Youtube or Instagram.You know the funny part is I may never be able to fit in

where that I go.Maybe If I you know sag a little or put a little hop in my step

I can finally be "black enough" for the majority of black people to accept me.

I have strong black man features,especially around my nose,but for some reason I am not 

Black enough.They told me I sound less like Malcolm X and more like some young white guy.

P.S. Telling an African American person that he talks white or he sounds white is saying 

That speaking proper and pronoucing every word so people can hear you clearly is only 

for whites.

AM I BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU?

My father is not in my life either! AM I BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU?

Gentrification affects me as well! AM I BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU?

I wear my durag as well trying to wave up.I pull out by brush and-BANG

Gunshot by a white cop and then I drop to the floor.While the old ladies come out 

Their houses letting me know As I bleed on the floor that everything is going 

to be ok.AM I BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU?

Teachers have told me that I be anything either.AM I BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU?

First day of school the teacher makes sure that the only black kid in class sits in the front

of the room.AM I BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU? 

"Ok class today we are going to talk about Slavery." The entire class looks at me.

So again for the final time I ask you this.Am I black enough for you?
