WHITE

white man legacy
white man crime
white man violence
white man racism


not easy on the tongue speak
not easy on the re-whiting of histories
not easy to live in fears of realities
not easy being persons of color


white is the color of oppression
white is the color of racism
white is the color of segregation
white is the color of the hang man's noose


the time is past to make change
the time for racial violence to end
the time of racial discrimination no more
the time for white to stop the deaths of persons of color


red yellow black white brown
more than crayons in the box
white symbolizes purity and racial hatred
red is the color of blood in the streets of the world


white men need to embrace the weight of their hatred
for those of color
white men need to get down 
off their high horse
white men need to leave everybody 
the fuk alone


white must stand against
white violence
white hatred
white racism

A powerful, hardhitting strong poem against racism and white supremacist fascists. Kudos and always write and side with justice like this.

A powerful poem that speaks to the heart of the truth. Woke-ism is an excuse to deny historical fact and attempt to bury it. To alleviate an unbearable weight and albatross strung around the neck of this nation that refuses to acknowledge their ancestral past and the malicious accountability they don't want to accept. It is not about reparations but the understanding that this country is founded and continues to propagate racial inequality. Heads of state no matter how hard they try can not erase that fact. Recently a black family attempted to sell their home and was offered less for it than when a white friend of their's tried to by claiming it was his home. Suddenly because the seller was white the price and value went up. The system is systemically broken. It is going to take all of us to change it. But change doesn't happen until everyone accepts the fact there is an undeniable problem. Thank you Keith for this honest fact filled truth about our society and the countless other countries that have destroyed themselves over hate and not recognizing nor accepting that all are equal as a species.
