Black What

Black what ?
never apologize for your black thoughts , your black loyalties 
never apologize for your black motives , your black history
never apologize for your black pride, your black skin 
For black is just a skin color .. it can define my race but not my heart 
For black is just gift of differentiation from God it may define my identity but it cannot define my struggle, my hard work ...
I'm proudly black 
I'm unapologetic for being black
