YOU CALL ME NIGGA O_O

You scowl and turn up your nose at my presence in the cab next to you,

You change the music station from local music to your cultural selections.

Without knowing your history, knowing your place, knowledge limited, information...few,

You constantly judge my RACE, assuming my situations are my limitations.

Well here's some free information for you... Mam, know your place...

Of the 3 RACES I fall in the esteemed category of NEGROID, a position I hold dear,

On top my head, growing lustrously, tightly curled (nappy some might say) is my beautiful hair.

My dark skin, narrow ears, prominent bone structure, makes me a sight to behold.

Upright I stand, head never bowed, seeking my history... what has yet to be told.

CAUCASOID you damn well ain't, cause this race don't even have a written history,

When asked the time-line of this race, to prove their case, they revert to Greek mythology.

From the Caucasus Mountains (hence the name Caucasian) their sketchy history usually begin,

Neglecting to mention in most history books, that Albino they were born (of African), their blood now gone thin.

One other race left to briefly dissect, by golly I hope you belong somewhere there,

But due to the geographical history of the MONGOLOID race you fall neither there nor here.

Asians are what they are usually classed because of physical characteristics different from my own,

But again, where the hell they came from? Dropped from the sky? Materialized? 'Grown'?

So you see mam, I can take myself back to the beginning of time without getting lost,confused,

Even the Holy Bible (whatever version you choose to read documents my existence), but most times misused.

So when you see me, turn up your nose and try to degrade me by referring to me as NIGGA,

Please note to yourself, you're a sub-race - of which there are many - and the word is not NIGGA... but NIGER.

Over the past few years, but more now than ever I have been confronted with snide remarks, racist comments, and

uneducated commentary from folks who think because they belong to a certain 'race' that they're more superior than I am. This is just a short commentary to put things straight.

There is NO East Indian race

There is NO Dougla race

There is NO Chinese race

There is NO Hispanic race ect.

FIT IN WHERE YOU FALL IN.

Race is most times used out of context when people are referring to Culture and Ethnicity.
