No, I don’t like watermelon.
No, I didn’t beat on my girlfriend.
No, I didn’t drop out of school-
Wait, wait, wait.
Who are you?
Okay.
Now, do you even know who I am?
Uh, huh.
So let me get this straight,
you walked over here,
not knowing who I was,
assuming that I liked watermelon,
beat on my girlfriend,
and dropped out of school-
And it’s all because I’m black?
You know what,
people like you are what’s wrong with society today.
You’re too dumb-
stupid-
ignorant-
too weak-minded to think for yourself.
No, I understand that this is what you were told,
but if you believed
everything you were told,
who’s really the dummy-
Who’s really the inferior one?
So next time you just assume
something about someone,
please at least get to know them.
You see,
everyone’s not like me-
calm and understanding.
If you walked up to anyone else
and asked them the same thing-
I would say “I told ya so”,
but that would be rude.
