A young man raised under scrutiny ridiculed by his own kind! They say,young man why do u act this way,don't u know the life you lead is suicide? But,this young man bears the grief of an old man being raised in poverty and restrained mentally by gated community makes him feel alone in his own land.
This young man has witnessed hate from both sides because he was born with the sin of harboring blood from both sides.
A young man born with the charge of tainting a race.
While he's not acceptable to white America even amongst his own kind he's considered out of place.
This young man grows weary and confused,he can't understand why little Billy's textbooks are new while all of his are used.
This young man ponders on the whereabouts of his father while comparing his pale complexion to the dark souls of his mother.
This young man feels a sense of empathy when Michael Jackson brings to light, it doesn't matter if you are black or white.
This young man he wasn't allowed in the homes of his white friends nor does he understand why when he comes to swim in their pool suddenly theirs no room for him to get in.
So, this young man ask his own kind is your question meant to criticize or are you culturally blind.
