Black Man Just Like Me

Turn on Cops what do I see?

The cops beating a Black man who looks just like me.

Turn on the evening news what do I see?

Newscasters celebrating the conviction of a Black man who looks just like me.

Turn on MTV what do I see?

Mysogynistic lyrics from a Black man who looks just like me.

Turn on Sports Center what do I see?

Anchors laughing at the loss of a Black man who looks just like me.

Look in the mirror what do I see?

Tears of a Black man who looks just like me.
