Negro
Black- color of my skin
Unfair judgment
Due to melanin

Culture
Was once African
Slavery came
Now Afro-American

Daddy once told me,
“There ain’t no black napkins”
To wipe away
The color of my skin

Caucasian
White- world I’m livin’ in
Unfair treatment
Second-class citizen

Skin war
Affects one’s thinkin’
Both to blame
Stop hatin’ and start carin’

Daddy once told me,
“There ain’t no black napkins”
To wipe away
The color of my skin

White napkins
Soak up everything
Remove all stains
Make it all look clean

Brown napkins
Not the same thing
Cheap and plain
Give a rough feeling

Daddy once told me,
“There ain’t no black napkins”
To wipe away
The color of my skin

Napkins?
What do I mean?
Used as a race theme
Same as human beings

Daddy once told me,
“There ain’t no black napkins”
To wipe away
The color of my skin

No black napkins
To wipe away color stain
So ugly racism
Still remains… unchanged
