They looked down on me and mistreated me, turned me into a slave in my own home,mocked my ebony beauty and looked at me as dumb.They resented my guts and jailed me for questioning their authorities all because I am a Picaninny. They took my freedom and restricted my wisdom because they did not find me worthy. They laughed at my beauty, insulted my sincerity to my people and jailed me.

Why do we still worship this people even after so little affection they showed the Picaninny? Why do we still copy their deranged fashion and absurd culture even when they have no values? Why do we not challenge them when they act like they own our world and our lives? Why do we let them see us as so little when we are so much more? I am a Picaninny and I believe in what I stand for, the beauty of my African skin and the values of my culture. Yes! I am a Picaninny.
