A Brown Man's Perspective
I'm brown never been black, never been down. Being called black is a deep, dark, degrading name, that another man gave us while our ancestor's were still chained. I'm brown for the simple reason, that when the weather changes my skin don't change with the season. I might turn darker by getting a tan, but when another man buy's one does that make him a black man? Being called black for many of years, didn't change nothing through hard work, sweat and tears. It simply made you a color, not your choice, but put you in a situation without a true voice. Only God can judge all of our true colors, until then one man's color, shouldn't be judged by another.A Brown Man's Perspective
