The author states, “Jesus was a brother. A bruh, not a bro.” (Line 30-35). I love this line, alludes to the slang that people use on a daily basis. It is interesting the how the wording the author uses in the poem. The author uses “bruh” and “bro” in the poem. These two terms contrast each other because traditionally the term “bruh” is used by black people, while “bro” is used by white people. These two words are similar in the fact that they essentially mean the same thing, but the connection the words have are very different. For example, the fact that “bro” is in the dictionary but “bro is not. Another line worth mentioning in the poem is, “Mary with a press and curl, Joseph with a fade.”(Line 55). This poem mentions two popular hairstyles for black people either past or present. A “press and curl” is not a hairstyle used as much as it used to be. Although a fade is a popular hairstyle that black men still get
