Chapter 51

Brother, what a price I paid!

You stole my history,
destroyed my culture,

cut off my tongue
so I can 't communicate.

Then you humiliate,
then you separate,

hide my whole way of life
so myself I should hate!

Brother, what a price I paid!

You took away my name,
put me to shame,

made me a disgrace
the world's laughing stock.

Made of me a show,
to jeer and to mock,

but your time is at hand
so you better watch the clock!

Brother, what a price I paid!

From the shores of Africa,
mainland of Asia,

The Caribbean and Mississippi
Central and South America.

First you humiliate,
then you separate,

you hide my whole way of life
so myself I should hate.

Brother, what a price I paid!

Sister, what a price I paid!

Sister, what a price I paid!

Malcolm X: "The worst crime the white has ever
committed was to teach us to hate ourselves."

Tacitus: "It is human nature to hate the one whom you have hurt."
