White Male

I am a white male
I am a rapist
I am a racist 
I am a pig
I’m supposed to think I’m better than you
Wait sorry
I am better than you
These are things I don’t think I am
But they’re attached to me
I feel as I am a martyr for the ones who attack me
And they put me down
And they make me angry
 Now I feel oppressed 
But oh wait I’m not allowed to be oppressed 
I’m a white male 
I have no problems 
Everything is easy for me
But it’s not
I don’t like being looked at as a rapist
I don’t wanna be known as a racist 
I don’t think I’m better than you
So don’t talk to me like you’re scared of me
Don’t talk to me like I’m going to be mean to you
Don’t talk to me like I’m better than you
Just talk to me like I am you
