i am sorry 

i am sorry that my early ancestors used yours to plow the fields

i am sorry that when you see my uncle, a cop, you have to hide your face 

i am sorry that you find me so awful that you are willing to call me names

i am sorry that when i walk down a street with a hoodie that i am just as sketchy as you are

i am sorry you find your color of skin a reason to victimize yourself and not raise yourself up

but although i am sorry i will not be ashamed

i will walk with head up because i am not my ancestors and i love you just as much as my white friends

i am sorry that you all were oppressed and treated unjustly

so please don't make me sorry i am white.
