They want us to educate ourselves
Yet when we do, they do everything to prevent it
They tell us to go get a job
Yet when we do, we are never "qualified for it"
They tell us to have more emotion
Yet when we do, we are hypersensitive
They tell us to speak our minds
Yet when we do, we are that "angry black person"
They want us to be them.
Yet they all fear an educated , successful African American.
