The Black Man's Burden
Why is it that we used to fault black people
For being lackluster, lazy,
Uneducatably stupid,
And now,
When we have one who's a Harvard graduate
With real get-up-and-go spunk,
Who's pulled himself up, by his bootstraps,
Almost to the White House,
We accuse him of being uppity, too smart?
