I, too, am African

if I listen to the scientists
then I, too am African
which means that
people with my shade of skin
have actually enslaved our kin
which is akin
to the belief that we're all God's kids
and if
"there is neither male nor female,
Greek nor Jew," then
is it quite right
to see things so black and white?
it is true
that here is me
and there is you
but we have to see each other
in living color
