my answer is this poem:
A poem
By an African kid
(Nominated as the best poem in 2005)
When I born,
I black
When I grow up,
I black
When I go in the sun,
I black
When I scared,
I black
When I sick,
I black
And when I die,
I still black
And you white fella,
When you born,
You pink.
When you grow up,
You white.
When you go in the sun,
You red.
When you cold,
You blue.
When you scared,
You yellow.
When you sick,
You green.
And when you die,
You gray…
And you calling me
Colored?

I really agree with this, I love the poem. African people are not the only colored people.

we are all of color, and that's the problem we need to except the fact that we are , and care about the person not the color....otherwise if you only have one color in your box of Crayola's
how boring will your pictures in life be...we need all colors to make a beautiful world

When you were born you were not black, you got more color as you grew older. Why is OK for you blacks to call us white fella, rednecks, white trash, honkeys, but we call you anything but black we in court for discrimination. WHO"S really being discriminated???? You need to believe we are equal but you seem to rule. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!
