African child
When I born, I black. When I grow up, I black. When I go in sun, I
black. When I scared, I black. When I sick, I black. & when I
die, I still black. & you white people. When u born, u pink.
When u grow up, u white. When u go in sun, u red. When u cold, u
blue. When u scared, u yellow. When u sick, u green & when u
die, u gray... & u calling me colored??
