I love you to a racist
Black people in this
Plantation syndrome
Who said I forgive you
I love you…
It’s scary…
They said it’s ok with
Major hugs
Which means
They keep openin doors
For white folks to do more
Harm on them…
I don’t wanna be
That black person
Who needs to be a bigger person
To forgive immediately….
I don’t wanna be controlled
By someone who said I have to give
Just cos of racist don't get their way…
It’s insanity…
How is this right thing to do
When white people hurt
Black people on purpose?
It was never an accident
Don’t call it a mistake….
When you said
I love you to a racist…
Racist who lynched your family member
On a tree, is it cos of you’re a Christian…
Cos Jesus said you should give them a pass
They can’t help themselves, right?
White folks don’t take accountability
For their own destruction….
White folks took advantage of melaninated
Welcomin hands..
They ain’t really sorry…
You do know that?
They will never be sorry….
And black nation shouldn’t have to forgive
We need to practice that….
Let me ask my people…
A serious question…
Do you forgive your own?
Folks who look like you….
Be real
Be honest
Cos black people has this habit of
Not forgivin one another
But we forgave other races…
We go open arms on earth other
However we go soft on the white man
Or white woman…
It’s why forgiveness is a mental sickness…..
When an abuser makes you forgive constantly
With physical violence or verbal words
With threats
It becomes a trauma….a generational cycle
Where you keep forgivin with the kindness of
Your heart….
And this,
You’re givin love and compassion to a
White supremacist who hates your blackness
Not only hate, he or she envies your melanin….
The whole system has done a lot of damage
On black folks…look how ebony minds set up…
We’re colonized, we’re slaves….
and one of the worsest things the love and forgiveness
For a slavemaster is to pass down to your babies….
We’re trained not to fight back….
We’re trained to take it not defend ourselves
We’re trained to turn the other cheek…
We’re trained in fear of white people….
Cos in our slave brains, we still think
White folks are better…
We continue to value all the whiteness in the
World….
I think majority of my people don’t agree on
Self defense…even though we watched Montgomery brawl
Even though we learned about Haitian revolution
And Nat Turner…how black people slaughtered
The coons who snatched…
They still think forgiveness is the best thing….
They can’t take risks….
They don’t want death threats
They scare…
And I won’t lie
I’m scared, too…
I’m scared of being a black woman who forgives
Racism….
Of being persuaded and dominated….
I shouldn’t have to be….
I don’t wanna become
A house negro
Who let things slide…
I don’t wanna be a
Hypocrite….
I love you to a racist
Is not a warrior….
Not a backbone…
It weakens the black community…
That’s what white supremacy wants…,
To give its all our energy
Our money
And leave it in the past…
Like forget it…
Racists doesn’t deserve love
Doesn’t deserve to hear you say
It’s alright we’re all humans….
Doesn’t deserve a warm embrace
After they called you a nigger…
But hey,
You’re a Christian
Right?
You as a black person
Who loves Jesus
Livin in a colorblind world
To forgive….
There’s no arguin…
You have a kind soul to love all people
Yet all people want to mess with your head
And shatter your bones
Cos you’re black….
You may not acknowledge oppression
Though you don’t care
You have no self respect and dignity…
For yourself
For your race….
When I hear you say
I love you to a racist
It sounds strange….
I’m seein a slave forgivin a master….
If I wasn’t aware of the
Harsh reality,
I would say
It’s the right thing to do….
It’s not….
If we can’t forgive cheaters
Then we can’t do the same thing with racists….
