Black.
The same Black as my soul.
The same Black as the skin of my ancestors.
The same Black as my history.
America is Black.
The same Black as the slaves that built it.
The same Black as the hearts of those who declared this land 'found' as though it were lost in the first place.
The same Black as the guns used to take the lives of the innocent.
The same Black as the robes of the men and women who excuse it.
The same Black as the names on the streets.
The same Black as the corpses in the streets.
The same Black as the men and women on TV, showing little Black boys and girls that Black is beautiful too.
Gray.
Gray is the color you'll get after mixing all colors together.
America will be stained Gray.
I promise you America WILL be stained Gray.
Gray as the people who live in it.
Gray as the justice it promotes.
Gray as the people who cut away the corrupted pieces.
Gray as the hearts who believe in what is right.
Gray is not Black.
Black is not shameful.
White is not evil.
Gray is the color of harmony.
Gray is the color of justice.
Gray is the color of happiness.
Gray is the color that ends "the talk".
Gray is the color that begins new ones.
Gray is the color of All Americans standing proudly beneath their flag and pledging their faith because
Gray is the color of the people.
