Just a thought

I never knew black people could be racist .
The other day I was watching this show on ID discovery and it was about an African american racist group , I couldn't believe it . 
I thought only white people could be racist . 
Then it hit me .
 All this time I had been subjected to hate that was in the form of love for my own culture . I learned that the white man hated the black man but I never asked if the black man hated him in return . My brother replied " well the only reason they act like that is because how they treated us" 
Does that make it right? 
If I threw a torch at your house , does it make it right to throw one back ?
People saw MLK to speak on uplifting the black man , when in reality ,  he just wanted the black man to live with the same rights as the white .
It was never which race was better
It was which race could live in peace
I never knew black people could be racist . 
I know this wasn't a poem , but it intrigued me to look at a view point that wasn't mine .
