Racism is ignorant even in poems. We are all one race the Human Race.

I do not like this long poem as much as her shorter ones. The message, although it is true enough, becomes repetitive and wandering. M.Walker.

This is kind of a reality check on the enormity of the problem of racism. The hateful legacy whites v/s blacks has to be dismantled...... This will ensure that 'Blackness marches on' becomes a reality.

Excellent write! One that should be read by people of all colour. And sent to all blacks, so that they can be empowered. And sent to all racists, so that they can be educated. And sent to Trump, so that he can be RE-EDUCATED!

great poem on anti apartheid theme- The word Black has geographic power, pulls everybody in: Blacks here— Blacks there— Blacks wherever they may be. And remember, you Blacks, what they told you— remember your Education: “one Drop—one Drop maketh a brand new Black.” Oh mighty Drop.
