White privilege

White privilege The ability to exist Without fear The ability to walk down the streets And not jump at every siren To not calculate every move And overthink every word Because in out world Our existence gets us killed And in your world a red carpet is rolled at your feet Your privilege ignites your ignorance And in a world where all your needs are catered to You are lucky enough to get a choice Of freedom Of rights Of the ability to not care about anything that doesn't affect you Who else benefits from white privilege Non other than non black poc Because they are closer to white than we will ever be After all when push comes to shove They will choose white over black Because people will always gravitate to power And with power comes security So it's all man for himself Until everyone else needs help Then all of a sudden we want to protect ourselves Then we are labelled as the selfish ones Privilege is an asset few can only have Like an elitist club only a few can join And if you're not one of them You better watch your back After all it is an exclusive club Where white reigns And black is used as an insult And where compliance puts you on the vip list Unless you're black Made to rejoin the line at the back And if we had a problem with that Well if history has told us anything defiance is not an option
