poetic technique: Saul Williams has a way of using superb diction to power
his point along with being able to make excellent connections with his

to what he is saying.
- Favorite
line: “I am a negro! Yes negro,
negro from necro meaning death,
I overcame it so they named me after it”
This line stands out to me because it shows the driving force that the
black race has used to keep on pushing past the ostensive racism and
blatant name-calling.
