A Song Reminder

Title:A Strange Friut

Author:Unknown
The song The Strange Fruit reminds me of slavery.It tells us about how black people were hung on trees.It looks like a "Strange Fruit''.I hardly listen because it reminds me of all the bad times we[African Americans]went through in the past.It also means to me that people who did that must be heartless.How can you do such a thing?thye hang them because there not doing there dirty work the way they want it.Do your own work and dont bother us about it. I dont have any bad feelings about modern white people but not the ones who did those horrible things.Why did they choose us?The person didnt like the color black?Did they just say '' black people are being slaves.End of descution''?We were the first people alive so we should do it to them.
