Yes, I am a Negro

I am a negro I say it with pride I cannot my colour hide its radiant blackness does glow. I am tropically designed, and from taunts I am resigned. I love my natural label, it rings my pride like a bell. My frame is black and lovely, I am feminine and curvy. My rare Baartman's curves are awesome, despite my colour being 'loathsome.' My labour in the scorching field was worth a trans-Atlantic risk. I enriched the west with my yield. My hard labour did slip my disc. I am Africa's black gold, and on this heritage I hold. I am black and proudly so, that is who I am, a negro!!
