Colored Folks

Colored Folks

(This was written by a black man in Texas with a great sense of humor and creativity.)

When I born, I black; when I grow up, I black; when I go in sun, I black; when I cold, I black; when I scared, I black; when I sick, I black; and when I die, I still black.

You white folks: When you born, you pink; when you grow up, you white; when you go in sun, you red; when you cold, you blue; when you scared, you yellow; when you sick, you green; when you bruised, you purple; and when you die, you gray.

So who you callin' colored folk's ???
