Ahem! Last year I was Indian. I just realized, this year...that I am really Black (and beautiful) if I may say so!
Blackish in a messed-up world!
UM! Let's see
I am part African
(which could mean a mix of quite a few tribes)
I am part Indian
(on account of the myriad mixture and juxtaposition of the rainbowed stripes of people who came, saw and conquered my tiny island of Jamaica).
I have a miniscule jot of the English blood which splattered across my enslaved ancestor's backs, mixed within me somewhere.
I am a Jamaican mixture and potpourri of the blood of many who have gone before
So when you think to insult my sister...though we have never met
For Kamala is part Jamaican, part Indian
And insult the percentage of her that sprung from my Jamaican brother's loin
In essence, you are insulting me and all Black Women everywhere
But in particular
You are insulting yourself
The world shed its pure-blooded genes
when people of different shades decided to enslave and instill their will, and genes, upon the innocent and unsuspecting
Intermingling their so-called purity into a people's psyche
Now we all walk the land
Not a pure soul to be found
So...Tell Me
What color were you before you found yourself
WHITE-ISH!!!!!
It is pointless to fight with a pig
You both become dirty, rolling in the mud
The thing is, in the end
The pig is the one that likes the mud.
PSHAW!!!!!!
You think yourself better than us...more superior than us
Think again...
We got the MELANIN!!!!!!!
In abundance
Lots to spare!!!!!!!
