Ain't Never Not Been Black
Johnson’s words are not set for anyone group of people. All people can relate to and learn from his words. The straight forwardness of the poems help tell the stories that cover the past and present, but hopefully not the future. This is a love story to himself, his family and those who live and fight by his side. And I do not care what anyone says, Irish and Black moms sound an awful a lot alike in my book: they love hard, feed people, are able to stretch nothing into something and worry about their children.
