Nonverbal
Black people with disabilities
Who are nonverbal
Experience racism,
and they can’t explain
Some don’t understand
What’s goin on…
How the parents
And guardians
Are goin to find out?
Maybe through bruises
Maybe through mimics
That’s somethin important to
Discuss about…
Especially in the black community
Incidents happened
We just don’t mention it often
We should…
Black people got targets on
Their backs…
Special needs or not
You’re still black
And you wander off from your staff
Somebody will kidnap you
Or a cop who thinks you have a gun
You don’t know what to do
You don’t know what to say….
And you’re nonverbal….
Being black and disabled
Can be difficult,
And you may not understand…
You might know what's goin on
You might tell someone
About the color of your skin
Is attacked….
Black people
With special needs
Deal with white supremacy
Especially in disabled communities
I heard stories….
We should be
Protected, too
Even when we’re aware of
Our surroundings…
I’m not an activist
I can advocate for
Black people who
Are nonverbal
Experiencin
Racism white supremacy
May not understand or do
It also needs to be addressed
Guardians and parents
Loved ones
They don’t know
What’s really goin on when they’re
Not around them…
There are times
When those situations have popped up
Later on after that
Or other times incidents are kept in
Secret..
That’s the scary part….
And black people who are
Nonverbal
Can’t actually say what happened…
Adults children
Family members
Used cameras to
Find out what goes on….
And this is important
To speak up about racism
For real
Cos things can also happened
To black people who are nonverbal
Can’t explain the situation of microaggressions
Of beatin like a slave, of callin the n word
Sadly
Family and Friends
Have no idea….
Til later on
They have to find ways to
Figure what’s happenin
To their loved ones….
