Black Man Poem

Update: one of our kind web visitors, Tina, wrote to tell us that she didn't think Chris Rock wrote this poem because she first read it 15-16 years ago in college and Chris would have been too young to write it. She saw the poem attributed to an "African Shakespeare" on another site.

Black Man Poem

When I born, I black,

When I grow up, I black,

When I go in sun, I black,

When I cold, I black,

When I scared, I black,

When I sick, I black,

And when I die, I still black.

You white folks....

When you born, you pink,

When you grow up, you white,

When you go in sun, you red,

When you cold, you blue,

When you scared, you yellow,

When you sick, you green,

When you bruised, you purple,

And when you die, you gray.

So who you calling colored folks???
