They say Im to white to be black because I speak with eloquence, intelligence and class. Yet when did me speaking right equate me to speaking white? Im to white to be black  because Im "to nice," while the other black girls speak reckless and are selfish. Im to white to be black  because I don't typically listen to rap. I'm to white to be black because my skin is a shade or two lighter than you. They say Im to black to be white  because I drink grape kool-aid  and statistically speaking Im bound to be under paid. Im to black to be white because i like "black girl" names. I guess they failed to inform me when names were  associated with the color of my skin. Im to black to be white because of my thick thighs and chocolate curls. Im to black to be white  because im a shade or two darker than you.
