Black enough

To be black
I should be
poor, uneducated,
violent, loud,
belligerent, fertile,
proud, country, threatening,
soul-food loving,
oppressed, thick,
promiscuous, street-wise,
ghetto, imprisoned,
fatherless,
ignorant, pimping,
stoned, lawbreaking,
resentful, blue-collar,
athletic, and lazy.
