Slavery

War spelled backwards is raw.
We as African Americans have been
Stripped raw by the paws of 
others who dignified "African
Americans" as property. We
Couldn't fight back because we 
we were imprisoned on plantations
that couldn't be escaped.

We were treated like animals.
Being whipped at any given moment
our masters felt it was neccessary.
Women were looked upon as meat
they were being used for there 
assets
rather then there work ethic.
Men being slung aound and 
physically
abused because their work didnt 
meet
there masters standards.

We as "African Americans" were
reffered to as the "N word" with
an "er". That word was used to 
deprive us of the last bit of dignity
We had left in this world. That
Word stripped us of our names
meaning we didn't have anything
to identified as other than the 
"N word" with an "er".

War spelled backwards is raw
we as "African Americans" have
Been stripped raw by the paws
of others who dignified "African
Americans" as property.
This time period is known
as a time period where freedom
wasn't an option. It was none other
than "Slavery".
