Were all equal Was this country Not founded on equality So what gives you The right to own me? Do you think it's right Because of my skin color? Is it cause I come from Far off lands? Is it cause I have Different beliefs then yours? Is it cause of My accent? Is it cause I did not Enslave you first? Where does your Superiority come from? I ma black, but What difference does that make? I work just as hard As everyoneles. I love God Just like you. I love life and my family Just like you. So do you still think it's right, To own me due to my skin color?
Reason for writing:
I was thinking of slavery and where did whites ever come up with this crazy idea that they were better then another race, because of their skin color??? Comments welcome
