Namaste Friends,
I am not so naive as to think that everyone who read the poem Lord, Why Did You Make Me Black(?) would love it. There are some who don't get it. That's why they stole it and re-wrote it.
There are others who refer to it as the N----- poem.
Now, I'm being crucified by some who claim to have so much "high" self-esteem that they don't understand that some of our young people are growing up hating themselves and need to know that God did not make a mistake when He created them! These are the same folks who use and listen to all kinds of profanity and say "this is how WE talk!" I thought it was a choice, not a lifestyle.
Peace Poet Ebo
