I’m surprised that you had student loans
After all
You are black
And things were made for people like you
To help with what you think you lack
You see opportunity was given
Kind of just thrown at you unlike me
They give you jobs you don’t qualify for
Just because you don’t look like me
I’m surprised that his father is still in his life
After all
Don’t all of your father’s leave
They make babies everywhere
But never provide for their seed
You know that’s why marriage matters
That is why so many of your young are in jail
Family means a lot to my race
And in that area you all fail
I’m surprised that you speak so well
I’m surprised that you are so tame
I’m surprised that your education background
Because it is so extensive
I’m surprised that you have a “regular” name
You know sometimes ya’ll are different
But you act just like me
I’m going to call you my black white friend
Because you are white to me
“Sometimes we tend to forget that people are people just like us. Friendships should be based on common characteristics and likes. Characteristics are not race specific, but when we make them so, we tend to make our friends uncomfortable. So be mindful…” -Monica Renata
