What If?

Posted By: ericka richardson on April 28, 2006 WHAT IF I AM A GAY BLACK WOMAN What if I am a Gay Black Woman? Is it a disease? Well, if it is, I sure hope it's catching Because they need to pour it into a bottle, label it, and sprinkle it all over the people Men and Women - whoever loved or cried, worked or died for any one of us. So what if I am a Gay Black Woman Is it a crime? Arrest me! Because I'm strong, but gentle... I'm smart, but I'm learning... I'm loving, but I'm hateful... And I like to work because I like to eat and feed and clothe and house me, mine, and yours and everybody's Like I've been doing for the past 300 years. What if I am a Gay Black Woman? Is it insane? Commit me! Because I want happiness, not tears; Truths, not lies; Pleasures not pain; Sunshine, not rain; A woman, not a child! What if I am a Gay Black Woman? Is it a sin? Pray for me! And pray for you too, If you don't like women of color because we are... Midnight Black, Chestnut Brown, Honey Bronzed, Chocolate Covered, Cocoa Dipped, Big Lipped, Big Hipped, Big Breasted, and Beautiful... All at the same time! So what if I am a Gay Black Woman? Does it bother you that much because I want a woman who wants me... Loves me and trusts me... Respects me and gives me everything because I want to give her everything back, PLUS! What if I am a Gay Black Woman? I've got rights, same as you! I have worked for them Died for them Lied for them Played for them Laid for them... On every plantation from Alabama to Boston and back! What if I am a Gay Black Woman? I love me, and I want you to love me to, But I am, As I've always been, Near you, close to you, beside you...Strong, Giving, Loving FOR OVER 300 YEARS YOUR GAY BLACK WOMAN...LOVE ME! ...Just a lil something to think about...
