Claims
Must be hard out here?
For you of course
Pigmentless
Living the life of a white man.
"Hardest thing to be right now is a white male"
Excuse me if i offended you.
My mention of slavery must have repremanded you.
"We dont make the same choices our ancestors do "
To envoke that feeling of remorse
That remorse my ancestors never got ,
But you forgot.
We did not ask to be brought here.
Put on display when no-one showed dismay
Enough about then , lets speak on today.
"I voted for Obama"
The international non-racist phrase ?
This is what we look like now days.
Because half is better than none at all.
Half of you and half of me.
None the less half is still to much to be.
Soon followed a fuss.
Never just a president ,
A BLACK president.
Create your own history
Reason ?
Lack of Democracy.
Opression , Mother of slavery.
Racism , daughter.
To be beaten ,killed and raped in casuality.
2017 ,black is the easiest thing to be.
Deluted by revolution.
Young black slaves march on.
Paying your masa to be owned
Voluntarily shackled by feet.
When your ancestors fought for relief.
Fordged in steel now bounded in leather.
Brands burt into their bodies ,
Now burnt into your ego,limited editions.
It hasnt changed .
The name you carry
Your owner
Your masa
The name of the human that held your freedom .
But masa's day came,
When will Jordan's.
