African roots

African roots

A Poem by Yasmin_small

Black is being proud to stand out
To be African
To be strong

Black is being able to wake up in the morning and go clean some white mans trash just to do it for you other black family

Black is being able to appreciate for the day's meal and clean water
Black is to know struggle and fight got freedom

Black isn't about being oppressed or hated
It's about the love we give to one another
Black is about standing out from those who stand low
It's about being proud of your roots and the tribe you come from
It's about having natural hair that none can have besides you
It's about being your best beauty without any scientific measure's
Black is about you being black ....
