Why

This is said before it was written.  Why me being black makes me different. Why does it 
take tragedy to make people listen.  Why is it, the suspect is black when people turn up 
missing. Why does racism still exsist.  Why do they say uou need fours year of college 
just to be rich.  Why did  President Bush spend $4 billion in Iraq.  Why didnt he spend 
as much in New Orleans, is it because most of the population is black.  Why do we stand 
for the pledge of alligence, when the constitution doesnt recognize most of our people. 
Why?
