So envious white missionaries

 So envious white missionaries 

So envious white missionaries 

Came to Africa 

Build a house 

Steal the resources 

Created a Christian schools 

And told beautiful black girls 

To cut their Afro 

Cos they’re untidy….

First of all, 

Fake white knights 

This is not your home….

Second of all, 

Y’all ain’t got no business tellin 

These babies that their own hair is the devil….

Y’all make these policies out of your harsh abuse…..

A form of humiliation make the lowest self esteem 

So loud…..

Those pretty eyes are cryin

Cos of jealous colonizers 

Parents followed suit….

Brainwashed Africans took that white man’s role

Just tell these children who look like them 

To shave their heads…

Even the black boys….

Where were the warriors back in the day 

To stop this nonsense?

This type of situation 

Has happened all the time….

But with gettin a job

Sayin locs were unprofessional….

Tellin a black person that 

Cos of his or her hair….

Black hair is natural….

Black people are born with soft kinky gorgeous hair….

We’re told our hair is not good enough…

Our hair should be European hair 

Accordin to racial propaganda 

And human tongues….

African schools still keep colonial rules 

About black hair 

Keep it short 

Yet these are not African schools 

These are whitewashed indoctrinated institutions 

Where black kids are forced to erase their culture completely….

So envious white missionaries 

So called white savior 

Who actually want to be us so badly to the point 

They will tell black people to chop off their curls…

 What did they do with all their hair?

Do they wear it? 

Do they make it as a clothin?

Or put it in furniture like the slaveowners did?

Who told those wicked missionaries with the sticky smell

To dominate black girls’ hair?

I would of burn down their schools and kicked them back 

To Europe…….

They should have told their own kids 

To cut off their hair….

They should have a Bible on them…

Not ours

Just cos 

Y’all had a jealousy thing inside y’all 

That y’all had to oppress us by forcin 

Us to hate our own natural hair…..

So y’all can have it….

That’s all…

I didn’t talk about racism at camp

 We didn’t talk about racism 

At camp….

We didn’t talk about racism 

At camp….we never did….

I was hopin someone to bring 

Nolan Well case up…

It didn’t happen….

I was thinkin about that young 

Man…. I was expectin a confession 

But no one said a word….

We didn’t talk about racism 

At camp…not at all..

It’s ok I don’t think we’re allowed 

To involve politics or anythin like that….

I was still thinkin about a young black man…

Hopin it will solve a puzzle 

So his parents could rest in justice 

Put peace in their hands…..

Though durin a cookin session 

A white woman with glasses 

She said she doesn’t like 

Spanish people…yet counselors 

From Mexico who helped her 

All week….they laughed….

I didn’t say anythin or maybe I asked why….

I don’t recall….

I thought that was rude….

I didn’t ask if they were ok 

And you know Spanish is an European language 

From Spain…..

So how can you not like Spanish people?

Still 

We didn’t talk about racism 

At camp…. I wanted to cos 

Of Nolan, I wanted to keep up with 

With the story…

Nobody brought it up….

Besides people might be

Uncomfortable plus I don’t wanna 

Hear it’s not black or white 

Thing…I knew better that it’s a lie….

Also I could be right 

About discussion of race is inappropriate….

And people with disabilities 

May not understand what’s goin on….

I didn’t talk about racism 

At camp…. I didn’t bring it up

I didn’t write my black poem 

Til I got home…

Deny color

 Deny color 

Deny color?

You can’t, 

Black people

They see color

You know 

I know 

We wanna be colorblind 

We wanna see we’re all 

Human….

But, I hate to admit 

That 

Integration is hurtin 

Us deeply….

What hurts most deeply?

My people don’t really believe 

Racism is nonexistent….

Yet in their souls 

They do….. 

they act like 

It’s not there….

You do see it,

Black people 

Has been gaslight up 

Way too much 

Not to put a good eye on 

That issue, not only 

They’re lyin to themselves….

Black people 

Deny color 

When we talk about race, 

They have crushed feelings

Cos they know exactly what’s goin on

They don’t wanna stand up to 

White supremacy 

Especially when they have white friends

It’s so difficult 

They don’t wanna break friendships with 

Them…

It’d be that one buddy or two 

Who wants to see black people swingin

On the tree…

They wants to call you boy

Or say the n slur…..

And you could still deny color….

It’s insane…..

You can’t 

Deny color….

It’s why we’re speakin 

Up….

Actually 

We need to be 

An eye for an eye 

Instead of givin 

Racists grace….

Somehow

We’re trained to 

Give them compassion….

It’s part of conditionin….

It’s a trauma response…..

We go makin speeches 

About this isn’t about race

Even on interview

We be sayin 

It doesn’t have to do with race

And it’s a lie….

A foolish lie

Other times 

We’re told not to discuss 

Racism, right?

Like it’s inappropriate 

It’s in our face….

You 

Can’t 

Deny 

Sorry black people

I think part of it was 

Black parents taught 

Their kids not to see color 

And they live in all white neighborhoods 

And go to white schools 

Knowin there is a risk for danger..

Even if it’s not…

I hate to break it 

To you 

But you can’t trust 

White folks 

Cos of history 

Cos of hate crimes 

Cos of how they look at you 

And see melanin…

So you can’t deny 

Color 

You can never color 

Even some white people 

Say you can’t deny 

Color 

They know their own race 

They will tell you don’t be

The only black person  in all white spaces 

Some still carry racial terror with them…

They said the same thing we said 

And 

You still can’t 

Deny color 

You can’t admit 

The harshest world sees color…

Society sees black….

You can’t deny it
