About This Quote

I'm too young, too smart and too good-looking to die is a quote from a poem by Kehinde Wiley titled “Black and Brown”. In the piece, Wiley describes the relationship between the African American youth and their mortality. Wiley believes that African Americans are often portrayed as victims of oppression, but this is far from accurate. African Americans are resilient and know how to fight for their freedom.

This quote is incredibly relevant today in light of the growing epidemic of gun violence. It seems that there are many young black men who would like to live their lives to the fullest, but they are often shot down by criminals who believe they are too important to be killed.
