(off the dome)
yep.
nose still round--
skin still
deep molasses--
and thoughts still angry from--
deep seated ignorance that don't belong to me--
but
has been
attached to me like--
post hoc
because i am blak
i am
everything u make me be--
u stereotype--
when u should turn your stereo
down
and not type so much--
although my ancestors were
African and I am now--
American--
HOW AM I NOW--
STILL
AFRICAN-AMERICAN
don't hear us calling you--
European Americans...do you?
I am American--
though i have learned to loathe the word--
and hate the stars and stripes--
yet respect them in a sense...
cause
'i can't get no....
reparations--'
though i try and try
to break free of my double conciousness--
thinking back on AMERICA
makes me glad--
i'm still affakin*
