Not white enough for you
Not black enough for you
Flipping Othello pieces in attempt to win
They are not allowed to enjoy this
We are not allowed to enjoy that
Should we not be sharing our cultures with others?
Are we not dividing ourselves further?
I am so tired of the hate and hypocrisy
You see appropriation where I see appreciation
Let the poor child wear braids like me
Let the poor child dress like her
There is nothing wrong with that
Let the child appreciate the way you refuse to
Be that child instead of a racist
Let there be peace
The next thing coming from your mouth better be silence
I don’t want to hear another word
You have said enough today
Go to the corner and think about who you want to be
Be silent and listen and watch
You may learn something
