Smokey Robinson "A Black American"

I previously had not planned on posting performances by well know celebrities that graced the stage of HBO's Def Poets, as it is my desire to profile the top artists of this generation, but this spoken word piece is profound beyond measure.  There is so much to take in and so much knowledge we can all walk away with.  Smokey lays it all out about race, attitudes and mindsets in America.   

"We are the only people who's name is always a trend"  "When is this shit going to end" "Look at all the different colors of our skin"  "Black is not our color it's our core"  "It's what we have been living, fighting and dying for"
