Yes

When they say not everything is about race I say yes it is You may not have experienced it But I did Your privilege is showing Your ego suffocating Your ignorance provoking Your stupidity frustrating Don't insult my intelligence Racism is still prevalent It's foundation American I don't care if my voice makes me a villain I will always speak up for victims Of the unjust system This is a black lived experience And I will not let that be forgotten My voice my biggest weapon It's power could start a rebellion And you would be very wrong if you think you can silence it So yes everything is about race And no we can't be erased
