I am as Black as

Who are you?
I am as Black as the knee upon my neck.
As black as no is to yes.
As black as fear is to joy.

Who are you?
I am as Brown as the fight that never ends.
As brown as others say I am not.
As brown as black without a chance.

Who are you?
I am as White as yes is to yes.
As white as sight is to blind.
As white as true is to truth.

I am not you.
