with multi-layered harmonies,
elaborate melodies,
and complex rhythms.

and my people, too, have produced masterworks in paint and sculpture,
exploring form,
light,
colour,
texture,
and perspective.
I am a man of colour,
and my people, too, have contributed to the vast wealth of human knowledge,
science,
philosophy,

literature,
and theatre.

and my people, too, have been enslaved,
fought for justice,
bled for freedom,
and died for the equality of man everywhere.
I am a man of colour,
and my colour is White.
