I'm Black!


I'm black so I must be a criminal and kill like a vicious animal

I'm black so I must be in a gang and do drugs

I'm black so I must be a thief and steal

I'm black so I must carry a gun and open fire at others

I'm black so I must be unintelligent like a foolish animal

I'm black so I can't be successful

I'm black so I must be discriminated 

You stereotype me so therefore you don't know me 

Don't judge a book by its cover
