What I am are!
you know what i'm tired of having to be a certain way. Yesterday at school this gurl told me she wanted to know what i was. if i was black, white, mexican, irish, or polish. Now, anyone that has seen me knows i'm black from my milk chocolate complection. The fact she think just cause she listen to a lil jay-z, p.diddy, and omarion now she black. The gurl who said it is white. Just cause my skin is black don't mean i gotta be acttin a certain way! my personality is the way it is. luv it or hate it, this is me. I'm fa sho not gonna change just cause people assume that i need to be a certain way. I'm just De Anna Renelle Jackson!! when she said it i didn't know what to do. i didn't feel anger just pain. That this gurl was so close-minded to think that way. i just couldn't anwswer. She think just cause a brotha holla at her for a good time she all da way down! & she try to be tellin me i don't say stuff write. Like she more "blacker" than me. Well she aint never gonna be mo' "blacker" than me. I just hate that she thinks about black people like that. & it don't help that she be w/ ignorant blacks at our school either! but i'ma be the difference. Cause she need to see the truth! Black isn't a just an act, its who someone is!
Yeah...you are what you am...are...or am..are...um...yeah. You are what you are. You gonna meet people that intentionally try to get on your nerves. However, she could be one of those who grew up in a Black neighborhood; therefore, all she knows is how to be Black. Sometimes, you gotta put aside the "outward" assumption and find out what causes the awkwardness. But be you...and nobody else...
