@austinfels as a white person who relates to this powerfully, I just think run man run, I just think, I need to be a man. He says black man, because like it or not, that's a major part of his identity, but yes, his problems are universal, and he has articulated them ways that make me feel like I've never felt before. So run black man for him, run man run for me. Be a black man for him, be a man for myself to say...I choice to focus on what moves me...his being black isn't what moves me.
dont get me wrong this is amazing and he is possibly the best poet ever heard but does he realize that white people have the same problems?? its 2011 and while racism isnt completely gone and equality isnt completely true, it has changed and people have problems everywhere most not rooted to race .
Another great one by Daniel Beaty..LISTEN TO THIS WITH YOUR EAS AND MIND!..Wonderful works
