    Black Man

    Black Man why hate me when i'm trying to make it like you

    Black Man why is it so hard for you to understand you and i are the same

    So i ask you a question Black Man why do you kill and steal from you own

    You say Black Man the White man is the blame for you being on proverty

    I blame you the Black Men for using the White man excuse as a crutch to manipulate our young black society

    Black Man if the White man is holding you down then why do you rob, steal, cheat and kill one another

    Its you who scare the teachers away keeping them from teaching the young black community

    Its you Black Man that tears down our neighborhoods with gang violence and drug dealing

    Then you wonder why Black Man you have it so bad

    So the next time you say the White man this the White man that stop and look back at what you did to help hold back the Black community

    If you ask me Black Man you are the White man in disguise



    the Mysterious one

    I agree.. Fricking old men.. Sorry, but anyways it seems the blacks, and mexicans and foriegners are way more prejudice then white's. People say i'm racist all the time and I ain't. I hate everybody the same including myself.. Haha.. No one can just get along and realize that God made us all and color is just a test to see how well we socialize with others. The government is the problem and I hate 'em! I wrote a poem called''Jobs, Not for me" and some girl said I was prjudice, that just told me that she was. Anyway, I like how you worded it. I could say more but maybe some other day..

    I loved the way you turned the tables on the theory of the "black mans woes"....lol....when you think about it....that would be a clever ploy now wouldn't it....I hope this at least caused the reader to stop and pause and take a good look at themselves in the mirror.....nicely done my friend...Cher

    Okay then black man! How about we get this out in the neighborhoods and in the schools to share with black men and our black kids to help them to understand that it is 2009 and yea, its hard and yea we have had a rough road, but how are we ever going to succeed as a race if we keep holding each other back...this was real...keep bringing it to us raw! Thanks for sharing.

    Hard hittin reality. Its things like this that make you not care to stand for the community. You stand for your race and your own race ends up f*****g you over. Sometimes even family. Perhaps that self-survival mentality poisions us deeply, too deeply. We need to understand that if we don't care about us nobody will. As the old 80's song goes, "self-destruction"

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
