Poem

We blame the white man for all our misfortunes
We're doing the best we can
So damn it! If all else fails
Blame the white man
Ignorance prevails.

Standing on long welfare lines
Trying to scrape for every nickel and dime
Yet with such hard times
We still find
The time
To have three or four kids

Chances for success decrease
Stupidity -like a disease, spreads
Among our black people
I ask –Whose fault is this?

The white man doesn't like the color of our skin
Angered by this we come together to fight him off
Only to separate because we don't fit in
Within our own circle of people
But we said everyone is created equal

Hypocrites we are
But the white man is to blame for us not getting far

HA! 

Blacker the Berry the Sweeter the Juice
How about -Blacker the Berry the Harsher the Abuse
From outside and in
My own brother don't like the color of my skin

So now I have to change
So I can fit in
Hold Up! Something isn’t right
As I pick up the bleaching cream
To make myself more white
To be socially accepted by my brother and the white man
Might as well put the money directly in his hand

And we wonder why
The rich is getting richer and the poor is getting poorer
Something we will continue to hear more of
If the white man continues to have control

Yeah, Let's blame the white man

But aren't you sick of the same story being told?
Now that Barack Obama is in control,
After setting a precedent
For being the first black president
There are high hopes for a dream that can possibly come true

But we will still walk around and complain
Losing sight of where to aim
And all I can do is wonder
Who's to blame?
