This poem is really good, I am not black but i am mexican and sometimes i get judged also. I really think racism is really wrong we r all equal in gods eyes and no one shuld just cuz our race. Ur poem is really inspirational. Good job.

Latiefa, this poem is so heartfelt and adoring, you show you emotions and your experiences with racism through your words and that is what i think helps people to understand the consequences of hurting ones feelings and what can happen to that person after youve done or said what youve said. I would really like to use this poem as an example of racism for an assignment im doing this year, in my school many people are racist, not only to the black but other cultures,religions and colours. it doesnt matter what colour yous skin happens to be, you cant help what you were born. Maybe your poem will help others in my school to understand and hopfully change the way they look at different people, in the end we are all humans. I really value your courage to speak out and wright such and inspiring poem. You inspire me.

This poem is in truth what a black woman goes through. We face a whole lot of pre-judged racisim every morning we wake up. So it is time we let the world know that we are not what we have been judged to be. We are human just like the rest.
