BLACK IS BOLD
Black is bold
You can’t deny it
Black Sharpie is used to make something bold
Not yellow, not white, not orange, not purple
Because it’s bold
It stands for power and it stands for sharpness and a deep richness
And just like that sharpie
We are bold
the race that is so strong yet made so inferior
has everything to offer
A race so beautifully enhanced
by God’s hands with an abundance of love
is cultivated by this manifested in each and everyone of us.
To know that our skin is a one of a kind work of art
it should never be laughed at or teased at
only awed and delighted by
for black people of all shades are a force that stuns the world. People who think differently are the ones trapped in this swirl.
For many years we see our people struck down by
opposites because of the difference
Malcolm C
Rosa Parks
Sojourner Truth
Nelson Mandela
W. E. B. Su Boise
Harriet Tubman
and the man himself...
Martin Luther King Jr.
they fought for our skin
they love our skin
they know our skin is priceless
and as history tell ur best our skin was kept from the world. Our skin was trapped by the world
Our skin was useless to this world
but I know I know
Black is beautiful... Black is brave... Black is bold.
All the years, we thought we weren’t.
Now we know. We know our worth. And we know there is a reason why we are here and we are meant to be brilliant leaders of the world.
It becomes and unstoppable dream.
Hate is for the weak and only is a sinking hole of resentment.
and God said love all.
So.. my Africa american skin is beautiful, just in the way her caucasian skin is beautiful
or his latino skin is beautiful
or their Indian skin is beautiful
Let me put it this way.
We are beautiful because of God’s creation!
