Not black enough, not white enough

Whites selfassigned privileged, blacks deprived, caste

Searching for a way to feel

Strength in pedigree proud of race

I survived the white flight.

The only white person here? (How does it feel)

Caring is not enough. Changing is.

Humility leads me out of denial

You're lucky; you have good hair
