Smokey earned the right to speak for me. No church Sharpton and Jackson lost that right when they gamed blacks after and since the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Smokey tells it like it is he is my homey from the "D'' we originate the Motown sound and the root of the spoken word in Music ..when you are from the D .it is what it is and ..I don't think anyone alive could've said it better....
OMg I remember when this premiered. This is one of my favorite poems of all time. People get so offended when I try to explain this to them. Black is beautiful.
One of my favorite poems ever.

I met an African American. He was born in Africa, immigrayed to America, and became an Ameican citizen.
He was born in South Africa, of two Afrikaner parents.

Hahaha! I loved it. He has a really good command of the English language, too. Is it bad that I wanna' touch his hair?

You didn’t see the “Beverly Hillbilly’s” being protested by white folks.
And if you think, that cause you think that being called ''African American'' set all Black people’s mind at ease…
Since we affectionately call each other “N^ggah,” I affectionately say to you, “N^ggah Please!!”
...Who gave you the right to make that decision for me?
I ain’t under Your Rule or in Your Dominion... and I am entitled to My Own Opinion.
