Recently got to read this poem on the while browsing, Not sure of its authenticity but the poem is damn cool!
This poem was nominated by UN as the best poem of 2006, Written by an
African Kid
When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black...
And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you gray...
And you calling me colored???

Nice one, yes, but it has been around for some time, since the sixties, in fact....certainly not from 2006.
Still raises a laugh, though.
