guess you missed it::universalLove365:: shes not even actually 1/2 white, "i'm not talking about that, cute they met and fell in love, blood, I'm talking about that slave raped 6 times by the master" The whole poem is about shes not really accepted by her own race because shes too light skinned because she has maybe more white than a lot of black people. pay attention to "my roots are deep too....." she wants to be more accepted by blacks. "Maybe I'll be green cuz my people drove me there"

i love this poem, everytime i watch it i get chillsi think african americans should be able to express themselves most definitely.but i do see some peoples points, as being white, it does get irritating having the slavery thrown in my face, and just being 'white' as a bad thing.but hey it happened, but its in the past also.

I agree with you, she did a fantastic job with this poem and its written beautifully. actually if you go back a page or 2, you'd see my take on what this poem is about, i was addressing what another person said. what we were talking about below, is a little off the topic of her poem.

I understand what you are saying. However, look at it from the point of view of a young woman expressing herself via slam poetry. It is beautiful. Yes, you should listen to the words but don't just listen to the words, try to get a feel for the total art of what she is doing. Don't take it personally.

What about those white people terrored black people ,after slavery, just because? Most of those whites didn't own slaves. Most Blacks in America are the result of slavery, we're not as far removed from it as you guys like to make it out, we can't be because it is the truth of why we are here.
