A frican Kid

When I born, I black:
When I grow up, I black :
When I go in Su n, I black
When I scared, I black :
When I sick, I black : A nd
when I die, I still black :
A nd you white fellow :
When you born, you pink :
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red :
When you cold, you blue : When you scared, you yellow :
When you sick, you green
A nd when you die, you grey : A nd you calling me colored??
