Blackface

By: E.F. Salley

When you look at me what do you see?  

Do you see the content of my character?  

Do you see me as equal to you?  

Do you respect and appreciate my culture?

Do you see the struggles of my people? 

Created by GOD.  

I am the result of His thoughts.  

Black is beautiful.  

The devil is a lie.  

Seek wisdom.  

Leave ignorance in the past.  

When you look at me what do you see?

Commentary

Blackface caricatures represent the ignorance of racism which still exist within our society.  Black is beautiful.  A Black face is a GOD face.  It is the result of his thoughts and the work of his hands.  When you look at your brother do you see what the world see or what God see?
