Black Enough

 

 

Black is a color, not the way I talk or what I eat.

It does not define my character or what type of clothes I wear.

It does not mean I have rhythm or that I know the newest dance moves.

It does not mean that I can braid or that I attend a wild Baptist church.

It does not mean my favorite type of music is rap or that I am from the city.

Black is a color, so how can you tell me that I am not “Black Enough.”
