A friend of mine sent me this interesting poem allegedly written by an African kid and nominated by the UN as the poem of 2008:
When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in the sun, I black
When I cold, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
When I sick, I still black
& you white fellow,
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you out in sun, u red
When u cold, u blue
When u scared, u yellow
When u sick, u green
When u die, u gray
& u call me colored...?
