Because I'm Black
March 7, 2014
Because I am black I am treated different
looked at Different
and talked to different
they view me as
loud
disruptive
unintelligent
They see me as being of lesser value
like I'm not worth saving
They talk to me with a slowed speech
dumbing down their words to what they believe I can understand
They are blinded by my race not seeing the
thoughtful
intelligent
strong person I am
Society has put me down
all because I'm black
