Black is a Crime...But Black is Mine: Tears and Thoughts of a Black Man Raheim Fender

The majestic royalty of the Black man has never been put to shame! No matter how many times they try to destroy his story (history), his crown will always shine bright. Black is a Crime... But Black is Mine is my fifth book and one that speaks about the oppressions of the Black Man. In this book of poetry and thoughts, I channel iconic figures throughout history such as Jamaica's national hero Marcus Garvey, international Super Star Bob Marely as well as legendary American Activists, Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luthor King Jr. This book of poetry gives you an in depth look at how a young black man living in this world sees himself. As well as how he and his ethnic brothers go through the constant struggle of hate and prejudice. Yet, still defy the negative words and always remembers the royal bloodline from which he came. He is and always will be a PROUD Black Man. I give you Black is a Crime... But Black is Mine!
