my name is meagan.
if you wanna play with me you need tough skin.
...i'm amazing...
if you ask me what i am..my response is B-L-A-C-K
but to clear things up
My Father's Side
*My grandmother's grandfather was a white slave owner in Louisana. He later had an "affair" with one of his black slave wives, and they had a baby boy. When he died he left part of his land to his white-black son [my great grandfather]. Still to this day...my family lives on this land and we have our family reunions on it.
*My grandfather's mother was a french woman who came from Quebec on the Mississippi River to Louisiana and married my grandfather's father who was an half black-indian living on an indian reservation...
My Mother's side
*Her grandmother was a Spanish woman living in Louisiana...she married a black man living in LA!!
*Her grandfather was an ALSO an indian man living in Louisiana that married a half black half french woman.
i wrote another shade of black @ 16 cause i was so tried of being called light skin lol
my mom if you can see is the lightest person in the world
and she never stressed color to us
she taught us we are all equal and beautiful
Another Shade of Black
You look at me and say
Your skin is light brown
Smooth like caramel
With a yellow undertone
Like the sun that ilunminates the sky
But I say, It’s black like coal
That produces precious diamonds
Just like my people who were
Bent over from hard labor
Sick from disease
And chained down by discrimination
All you see is a light skin girl
Well, allow the sun the dance upon my face
Then kiss my cheeks with its rays
And color me dark
I will look like my people:
My hair kinky with thick, dark locks
And let it disguise my face
Brown being just a lighter shade of black
So when you see my brown skin
Remember it comes from a long line of black
besides being called boog. everyone in baytown knew me as RADIO RAHEEM
from Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing"
cause i knew every song on the radio..no matter the station
nowadays... no is saying anything so i don't too much listen to the radio
HIGH SCHOOL WAS STRESSFUL
[i still want to go back]
i was awkward (acting and looking)
i made it though and meet some of the BESTEST PEOPLE EVER
i know i will be studying tomorrow so i blogged twice :D
you're welcome.
