I AM A PROUD BLACK MAN
AND I MUST CONGRATULATE YOU ON THIS ONE.

MY BLACK BROTHERS AND SISTERS HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT IN HISTORY.
BUT HERE WE ARE AS STRONG AND AS COOL AS EVER,
SHOWING LOVE, ENTERTAINING THE WHOLE WORLD.
BECAUSE LOVE IS WHAT THE CREATOR BLESSED US WITH

I AM PROUD OF WHO I AM.

HERE'S MY QUESTION TO PEOPLE OUT THERE:

ARE YOU PROUD OF WHAT THE CREATOR MADE YOU?

[Coyote Poetry]

A powerful poem. Many cultures need to look at their past and become strong. Many have pay for their freedom. I tell the black youth I work with what my Ojibwa/Mexican dad told me. "Education, education and more education. Don't let the people who want to hold you down say. You are dumb and have no chance. Never let anyone look down at you." I like this poem. Strong and honest words. A excellent poem.

You have a strong poetic voice and I admire the fact that you are not afraid to touch on controversial subject matter.
