Misconceptions

By: Mike Burroughs

Why is it that my kind calls African Americans black skin? 

Why not brown skin? 

Why does my kind treat African Americans unequally.

Shunning down upon them by calling them an untamed gorilla. See why is it that a white man takes credit for an invention while the man who has made it was originally African American!...

Why is that?..

Why is the question I ask because the white man should understand the true meaning of the word black and understand the culture that African Americans uphold and carry out.

You see black is the very darkest color owing to the absence of or complete absorption of light; the opposite of white. 

An African American I say is not black!

He or she is Brown!

So untangle them chained up, stuck up minds and realize that they are more then what you say. 

More then the trash that you throw a way. 

More then everything you have put them through and locked away

Due to the higher power and

To the kkk.

Damn!!

I might as well say I'm tired of it!

I'm tired of it!

I'm tired of hearing all the ropes that has previously hung from them trees!

I'm tired of all the gunshots that has been sound and unleashed upon to the ones deep within them graves. 

You see I'm so tired of hearing all the screams and cracks of the whips released on them slaves!!!

I'm just tired of everything and still I'm questioning why?!!!

Why is it that my kind calls African Americans black skin?!

Why not brown skin?!

Why does my kind treat African Americans unequally.!

Shunning down upon them by calling them an untamed gorilla.!See why is it that a white man takes credit for an invention while the man who has made it was originally African American!...

Why is that?!!!!

Why?!!!

Well my answer to that is due to all the misconceptions!

All the rehabilitations!

All the executions!

All the white masters that implied in The rape participations!

You see there isn't a day that goes by and I ask myself these questions and have an answer too all 

...MISCONCEPTIONS.
