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.
