I am not ashamed... I am Black

CATEGORY

I guess I'm not black. Because my a$s not fat. Have long colorful weave down my back. My hair don't have naps. My skin is lighter than the average. I rather eat a burrito than fried chicken and watermelon. I don't have a poor education. My sentences do not constant of profanity. I have graduated High School and a College degree in pursuit. I rather work before collecting welfare checks. Why must you be offended when there is a book in my hand? What's wrong, never saw a black person read before? Surely, I'm must be a mixed breed. I once shown a teacher a photo of my family and me. The first thing she asked, "Are you adopted?" Why are people so stereotypic? Why must all black people have dark skin? Why must I love greasy food? Why must I be ghetto and loud mouth? Why must we all be poor, living off the government? Why is it so hard to believe? This is me! This is me! My predecessors were bought here in chains. My people fight for their rights. My people always being put on negative display, but I am glad to be born into this race. I am a black woman. I am not ashamed!
