Lemon grew up in New York/Brooklyn. He's a product of his environment. He's not trying to be anything but himself. There are plenty of black-Latinos. I'm from Harlem and I grew up around plenty of cats like Lemon.

This man is a white spaniard who resides in PR. Whites blacks and natives are mixed a little too. Yet we still know their is a difference between the three. If he has any black or native blood, it very little. He's as native or black as your average white boy more than likely.

@johnthepalm That's your opinion. You see a sad story. I see a "triumph in spite of". Most people can appreciate things they relate to. That poem means a lot to folks w/ parents who've made bad choices. Phylicia Rashad does a great poem on there. Floetry has a great poem. Some are funny. Some are sweet. Some actually do end quietly. And the people are applauding the passion. & though you may not like the delivery or the content, that is the poet's truth & i may not like it, but I respect it
