Analysis of Black people
50 shades of black
We're colorful people
True freedom we lack
Hardly treated equal
Free with no rights
Now how is that right
No coloreds allowed
This is only for whites
Slaved, tortured,
Killed, raped
The law allowed
This to take place
History repeats
History erased
Condemned by man
Because of your race
