Proud to be BLACK


I am Black and I am proud.
Just because I am Black, no one should put me down
That is how God wanted me to be.

I am Black and I am proud.
Just because I am Black, people should not exterminate me
I am an equal occupant of this world.

The only thing that makes the world better is diversity. If I have a different skin color,
If I have a different view and opinion, if I practice a different religion, If I think you don’t govern well and I speak out, that still does not give you a right to want exterminate me.

I am suffering. My children are being killed, my wife, mother and sisters are gang raped in front of me then brutally killed. My sons are abducted, and even killed, right in front of my eyes. But Still I stand to tell you, I shall not give up without a fight.

I live in fear, with my family and friends, but still we shall not give up. I hide in caves and mountains, feed on wild plants and fruits, all this spurred by your brutality and heartlessness.  I shall still stand up for what I believe in. I might not be able to change the circumstances, yet. I may not be able to stop you, yet. But I shall not give up.

As you stand by and watch, as you wait for my demise, I am keen to tell you that NO, you cannot finish us all. They tried that in Rwanda, they did not succeed. They tried it in Darfur, they did not succeed. So even now I tell you, you shall not succeed. You cannot finish us all. And among those remaining I stand to tell you that I will fight for our cause.
