I guess we’re too black

Too black for good jobs

Too black for proper education

Too black for respect 

Too black for good healthcare

Too black to wear our natural hair

Too black for justice

Too black to be heard

Too black to live 

But we’re black enough to fit the description

This is from a school project. I wonder if it'll get any recognition 0.0

Yes...I really love the anaphora as well as the powerful words...I don't think that it would get 0 recognition...It's too good to be in 100% recognition too...I love it...👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

It's really good, that repetition.
