I DECLARE

Black is blessed

Jawariah Samirah and son.

It’s said that black is dark and evil

It’s said that black is cosmical, deceitful and illegal

It’s said that black is marked by anger or resentment, hostility and indifference

It’s said that black offers little hope.

It’s said that black is a racial group having dark skin, from a lesser Africa that’s what is thought.

BUT, I DECLARE BLACK TO BE:

Magical, orgasmic, fantastic, complicated and problematic.

I say that black is pragmatic, dramatic, enigmatic and systematic.

They say black is less, not the best,

BUT, I DECLARE BLACK IS BLESS NEVER LESS.
