I don't have nine illegitimate children.
I don't have ANY children.
I have a high school diploma.
I went to college and I'm going back this Fall.
I DO care about education and I've probably read more books than you could count.
I have never been arrested.
I have never used nor have I sold illegal drugs.
I have never been a part of a gang.
I didn't grow up in the ghetto.
I don't shoplift.
I don't roll my head around on my neck when I talk.
I'm not loud in public.
I don't listen to rap music or support its crude lyrics.
I don't have shiny rims on my car.
I believe O.J. Simpson should have fried.
I don't depend on a man to get by.
I don't hate white people.
I don't use every opportunity via articles, books, and other media, etc
To abuse white people and put minorities on a pedestal.
I'm not a great dancer and I suck at sports.
I'm not a hooping, hollering Baptist
I don't even believe in god.
I despise watermelon.
I don't care if a black man dates a white woman.
I am all of this and . . .
I am also a black woman.

“The Road to Never Learn’in”
It’s a mighty long road, the road to, “Never Learn’in”
by monica
she stayed with me
in the lecture
in the theater
when I was writing
and when I reading
little did she say
while she watched me
