American Hate

The Asian community is scrutinized, Blacks are killed and cuffed on the street. You’ll order Pei-Wei and Big Bowl, Then scope them out, target practice. The very people arresting blacks, They are protected by their acts. But America doesn’t see a uniform, They only see black and say wrong. America is so resistant to change, Failing to admit that their slogan’s fake. America calls itself the land of the free, The constant racism could have fooled me. We can’t sleep in peace for Breonna, For George Floyd, we got it right. Justice is still so seldom served, Living freely is what we deserve.

Fantastic writing Rich Rogers!!! Australia (where I'm from) is the most racist country in the world so I can empathically relate to this, What happened to George Floyd was so tragic and around the same time David Dungay jr a First Nations man here died in custody with nobody since held accountable :( Deaths in custody here for First Nations people is stemmed by racism- nobody has still been held accountable for over 400 deaths ETC :(
