It's a poem by an African man.....

You white man!

When I born, I black.

When I grow up, I black.

When I get cold, I black.

When I sick, I black.

When I stay out too long under the Sun, I black,

And when I die, I black.

You white man!

When you born, you pink.

When you grow up, you white.

When you get cold, you blue.

When you get sick, you green.

When you stay out too long in the Sun, you red,

And when you die, you grey - and YOU call ME coloured?
