Colorblind racism
Colorblind racism
Which is to say
In my face
I don’t see color
I side eye you
I witness manipulation
The gaslight
You put your front to
Cover up the evidence
And cold reality
Like a beautiful mask…
I wanna say is
To get the fuck out of my face
With the I don’t see color bull shit….
Go away with that, ok?
Tell that to your token black friend
Who keeps askin for your white validation….
He or she will fall for that,
Not me, not this black woman…
I ain’t stupid….
You do know
Your people
Your white folks
Created this dumb ass
Invention that brought us
Black people and other races
The unfairness
The mistreatment
The brainwashin of white superiority
Knowin y’all ain’t superior
Y’all ain’t god….
This is the reason why
I don’t wanna hear
It doesn’t matter what color…
I’m not on the side of Dr. King's dream
Where you keep quotin
And you don’t follow what he said….
If you really care about
Black people
Obviously you don’t,
You should shoot your whole white supremacy
System down….
All around the globe….
You can’t do that,
You still need your white privileges and benefits from
Our melaninated spines….
You need our energy
You need your survival…
You make the world
Wears a masquerade of
Colorblind racism
To fake the human race
To fake humanity….
Yet you never see
Black people as people….
Another thing
Your white folks make black people
See themselves not to be seen as
Humans….
A white man did that,
Is he your ancestors?
You can say stop actin
Like a victim….
Ha your oppression did that…
We ain’t goin to act like
Colonization doesn’t exist….
I mean imperialism raped
Everybody dark skinned out
Like Argentina….
Still some black people live there…
What makes you think
Colorblind racism is comfortable?
The fact you can’t talk about it
You can’t post it
Cos too many sleepy people
Are relyin on a lie…..
Someone out there has to sacrifice
Its own voice to make others happy
They have to bury words deep inside
In their anger….
They don’t want fire to pour out….
They regret their hidden boldness
Later on….
Sometimes they wanna spill tears
Alone in their room cos of microaggressions
I started to think that what
Colorblind racism looks like to me…
Colorblind racism feels like
You should shut your mouth up
And not let the truth bombs drop
Colorblind racism feels like
You have sugar coated the definition
Of race and color….
To make white people feel good,
Not fragile….
Colorblind racism killed black babies…
I hear that sayin goes,
“Don’t be the only black person in your
All white friend groups.”
Cos when are we goin to learn
Black people?
When are we goin to learn?
For our safety?
Colorblind racism is dangerous…Stop
Teachin your kids that their brown skin
Don’t matter…it does….
They see color
They act like they’re blind
But their eyes are actually on melanin….
Racism is jealousy
Racism is insecurity
White folks always have been envy
Of black people…
That includes other races, they have been envy
Of us, too….
Though they treat us like shit….
I wish all black people could see that
Understand that
However not all of us are on the same page…
