I loved this poem I am happy you settled the score and it kind of bugs me that white people like me thought of black people like that

Noah | 9 October 2014

I like this poem because it has a nice beat and he saies that he doesn’t mind what people say just that he is no different because he is black

Jevans | 9 October 2014

I think the poem is good because Benjamin was sticking up for the black people of the world and he is proving some important points.

Mukie | 9 October 2014

I like this poem because it shows that he’s proud of being black and it makes me smile!!!!! ????

Dan | 9 October 2014

I think the poem is happy but he is not talking about happy things. I like the way he is talking about prejudice comments and it makes you think. I like the poem. It has llots of detail and I like how he jokes at the end

I love the poem because of it catchy Non-standard english witch makes it snazzy and fun. I also like the fact that he has no problems with other people thoughts about his colour. It’s inspiering.

Luckie | 9 October 2014

I think this poem is really good because he emphasises how proud of being black and the way he is and not amazing at running but good with academics. He is happy with what he is and no other way has any reason to be better.

I like the poem because it shows Zephaniah’s individuality and it shows that everybody should be proud of who they are and where they come from.

Char | 9 October 2014

I think this poem is right because before you meet some one you can’t just judge them straight away

DAKSH | 9 October 2014

I think that Benjamin Zephaniah has written this poem to explain that there is nothing wrong with being black- it is the people who judge have the problem. I like this poem because it expresses how he feels about people judging him because of his colour. He doesn’t mind being judged; instead he is proud of where is is born and what skin color he has

I like the poem as I like his use of dialect as well as the acent. It’s great!

Pierre | 9 October 2014

i like it it’s a good video across the worled to show that racism is bad and I like the way he shows that he dosent care that he has that accent

Lucie | 9 October 2014

I think that this is a great poem because it is a very honest and original piece of writing and it shows what people like him thought of the way people were judged it is great everyone should read it.

Theo ???? | 9 October 2014

I think this poem is a great poem as I think it is ridiculous that black people are thought to be different and are treated differently.

Milo | 9 October 2014

I like the poem. To show that black people should have the same rights as white people. Also that Asian writing is as important as English writing. He is proud of his writing. Not all black people are good at running a lot of white are good at running.

Will | 9 October 2014

I like the poem because it is telling you that when you think that black people are very fast not all of them are and I like the ending

Jen B | 9 October 2014

I like this poem because he uses humour and is making the better of the subject. hello is showing people to be ok with their race and that they can be who ever they want to br and they dont have to be what people say.

I think this poem is good because it tells people that they could be being racist to a black person when you don’t know that you are being racist.
