By Carl Sandburg 1918
I am the nigger.
Singer of songs,
Dancer. . .
Softer than fluff of cotton. . .
Harder than dark earth
Roads beaten in the sun
By the bare feet of slaves. . .
Foam of teeth . . . breaking crash of laughter. . .
Red love of the blood of woman,
White love of the tumbling pickaninnies. . .
Lazy love of the banjo thrum. . .
Sweated and driven for the harvest-wage,
Loud laugher with hands like hams,
Fists toughened on the handles,
Smiling the slumber dreams of old jungles,
Crazy as the sun and dew and dripping, heaving life of the jungle.
Brooding and muttering with memories of shackles:
I am the nigger.
Look at me.
I am the nigger.
By Kodak Black 2025
Examples of Family Expectations
To be respectful towards other people
To represent the values you were taught at home
To represent your family's name well.
Example:
My culture is Straight Black Pride. 1. We believe a Man, Woman, & Children is the best family option, 2. We do not use the N'word. 3. We wear clothing that represents our Afrikan heritage.
My family expects me to 1. Date a Black Man, 2. Respect others especially, elders, & 3. Be an honorable Black woman!
