top shop and racism

top shop and racism 

It has happened again it appears fortnightly now 
a posh shop has been robbed in the purest of daylight
that's about 12.30 
all the fur and other expensive stuff were grabbed and
carried out to a waiting car, where passers- see but 
do not interfere with the ongoing theft.
Not reacting, turning a blind eye might, be the best
way to survive in a country obsessed with handguns 
used by thieves with no fear of the law
Here we come into a racial issue when a big heist like
this happened and the perpetrators were white
the reporter with the emphasis they, the thieves are wite
If the assailants are black the color of their skin will not
be mentioned for fear people will call this racism 
The truth of the matter is most of the big operation 
of thieving is done by black people not say, this and
pretend otherwise does not do anyone a service
If we get to the point that white people are actively 
fearful of black people, we see the making of a civil war
