Why do Black People go to Jail?

Why do black people go to jail

Daddy?

Yes, darling?

Why do black people go to jail?

Because they don’t know

How to stay out of trouble

What kind of trouble Daddy?

They do things against the law

Against what law Daddy?

White man’s law darling

They think it’s not for them

That it doesn’t protect them

Well, does it, Daddy?

Stop asking questions like this!

You stay out of trouble girl!
