I’m thinking along the lines of Countee Cullen’s Heritage or even Langston Hughes The Negro Speaks of Rivers. The whole poem doesn’t have to be on this topic; it should just be present in some way. Also, I’m far from my poetry collection right now, so if you had text or links to text of the poems, that would help me. Thanks.

Dear African-American Yahoo Answers Participants,

I am Sir Charles Worthington V. My primary place of Residence is the United Kingdom and my family and I own numerous estates in various Southern US States. During the 1700’s my family acquired
the majority of it’s wealth through various slave trade and plantation endeavors which allowed for generations of my family to enjoy financial freedom. Over the recent years I’ve spent generous amounts of time in America and during this time I was introduced to
American Hip-Hop music. One particular Writing by Artist T.I.P and I do quote:

“To put us on the boat and enslave us
Worker that never paid us
Killed Malcolm X, Martin Luther King
and everybody else tried to come down here us
Killed my father that raised us
Kidnapped us from our country”

Instilled a certain level of guilt upon Myself, in which, supplicated motivational inspirations to make an attempt to correct the unfortunate injustice bestowed upon African-American Citizens, by not my own bloodline, but the mere political influences of an Era. I intend not to insult but make an honest attempt to provide remedial recourse
for the circumstances which enable me to live a extravagant lifestyle at the expense of my fellow human beings. I’m incorporating an Organization, which i have created the euphemistic-metaphor “BlACK-to-Africa”. The Mission of this organization will provide
African-Americans who wish to return to their native homeland of Africa, an expense free, method to do so. This method entails a, one-way ticket abroad my families luxury freight liner, free food and drinks. Before I Invest in this endeavor, I’d like to know if this is entitles me to forgiveness for the actions of my previous
generations and would you, African-Americans, take advantage of this Generous Courtesy? Please do not take this as an Insult, I’ve had
a upbringing different from most and sometimes find that I am out of touch with social exactitude. If this is not the correct way to remedy
this mistake, please educate me on how this could be accomplished.

Sir Charles Worthington V
London, United Kingdom.

My girlfriend and I have been dating for a year. We are soulmates and we both feel this way. There is only one complication, I have never met her parents because I am mixed with african american, and they feel that blacks are useless and are no good. Will this ever change?
