Your skin is the most beautiful color of black sand from Africa<\/p>\n
and your hair is as wild and free as the lion that roams the jungle,<\/p>\n
for truly I tell you that it is indeed a blessing to be born black.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Though some might try to deceive you<\/p>\n
and tell you that your blessing is a curse,<\/p>\n
and they will hate you simply because of the color of your skin,<\/p>\n
I ask that you rise above that hate, as high as the pyramids of Egypt that our ancestors built.<\/p>\n
I ask that you face their hate and blind it with the love that I have shown you, for God is love.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Stand beside your brothers and sisters for<\/p>\n
United we stand strong but divided you will fall<\/p>\n
and when you do fall,<\/p>\n
seek refuge in the house of the Lord<\/p>\n
for God will strengthen you in grace and faith to complete this journey called life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Remember that you are a descendant of royalty!<\/p>\n
A king in this world, lost without a crown.<\/p>\n
May my words of wisdom guide you,<\/p>\n
may God\u2019s light shine upon you in your darkest days<\/p>\n
and may the spirit of our ancestors that dwells within your soul remind you that<\/p>\n
\u201cI am somebody!\u201d<\/p>\n
Whenever someone tries to tell you that your black life doesn\u2019t matter!<\/p>\n
