Some folks who are so color blind, Would bo horrified to find They too, would be classed as black— If science proved the fact.

Many a white criminal, Seeking a safe hiding place Has passed as one of our race And often goes safely through life, Classed as colored and not white I envy a very dark person For the simple reason, They have something very precious.
