We have our own culture -

Do we? Anymore? Are we allowed to teach it without blackwashing it, or diminishing the people involved?

-we don't need to borrow anything.

Poetry is a free expression. No one group of people can own it because it is meant to be spread and taught and enjoyed. I'm a white woman and I find this particular poem very uplifting and inspiring. It's become part of my particular culture because it's now something I use to guide myself. Boom. Mine.
