If my black is so beautiful , why do people hate it so much ?

Why does the color black  represent depression , sadness , even death ?

But my black is strong too , right?

But we have the police breaking us down one by one because of what ?

A color ?

A stereotype ?

We've had innocent lives taken away from our community but the people who are supposed to protect us .

Why is black so hated but also so loved ?

Why do us blacks have to have rallies and start the BLM movement to be seen and taken seriously ?

All I ask is why on the behalf of my brothers and sisters .

Why do I have to turn the channel when another black death caused by a cop comes up on the news ?

Just think about how many innocent young , black men are behind bars right now .

Serving the time for a crime they didn't even commit .

It sickens me that I have to hide the world and reality from my little brothers because I don't know how to answer their questions of why some white people hate black.


Yes , All Lives Matter

But right now innocent black lives are being taken

So Black Lives Matter
