Black Protest In Gb

American protests for American problems from American law

As a white man, as I am, can’t help but notice, a tiny little flaw. 

It is not a black issue but an American one 
And fact is I stand with you, hoping change is to come

But I don’t live under American law,
or with American mentality, 
where white superior and the brutality 

Recognising American ways are not universal, 
as in Britain ways I’ve not seen at all. 

Brits protesting seems to be copycat
caused by pride but not fact, 
Ignorant to differences in attitude
and justice levels not skewed 

Those American events have an ill taste 
but that’s the flavour America will place 
it’s about their law being replaced 
and not the universal black race
