Interlude: Tina Taught Me - Solange

Written by：Spoken Word

I think part of it is accepting that

It's so much beauty in being black

And that's the thing that I guess

I get emotional about because I've always known that

I've always been proud to be black

Never wanted to be nothing else

Loved everything about it just

It's such beauty in in in black people

And it really saddens me when we're not allowed to express

That pride in being black and that if you do

Then it's considered anti white

No you just pro black and that's okay

The two don't go together

Because you celebrate black culture does not mean

That you don't like white culture or that you putting it down

It's just taking pride in it

But what's irritating is when somebody says

You know they're racist that's reverse racism

Or they have a black history month

But we don't have a white history month

Well all we've ever been taught is white history

So why are you mad at that

Why does that make you angry

That is to suppress me and to make me not be proud
