Analysis of The Black Kid
Makai Parker 2008
To be the black kid
facing rude comments in class
being stared at during the slavery unit
and being asked 'can i touch your hair'
feeling different and like you don't fit in
being called slurs
the n word haunts you and the children taunt you
to be the black kid
