Do we have to let 

White people slide?

Do we have to?

Part of it is our 

Mental slavery…

I know 

I know 

I know 

I always mention 

Our conditions…

But we must know where 

It came from….

It’s sad 

That as black people

We continue to 

Forgive to give a piece of shit 

A pass cos we believe it’s the right 

Thing to do and majority are 

Christians…

Ya we’re kind people 

However there’s a damage 

In our genes that turns to reflex

Compassion is our trauma response 

To our enemies….

It’s why 

I can’t stand 

Our people who are 

Givin these bitch ass racists 

Grace…..after they killed our 

Loved ones…after they called 

Us niggers….after they slapped 

Us in our faces….we keep givin 

Them grace like we’re trained to do….

I keep sayin 

We need to put white folks 

In check….without apologies….

We don’t need kumbaya 

With them especially 

When they hate us hardcore…

We shouldn’t let racism slide 

We shouldn’t forget it….

You can’t forgive 

An oppressor 

Who keeps oppressin you…

You need to defend yourself 

You need to fight back 

The gaslighting 

The manipulation 

Will make you slide 

Don’t let them….

I don’t care about 

Jesus 

I don’t put him in your 

Situation 

Where you feel disrespected 

And You have to defend yourself…

Sometimes you do wanna punch 

A colonizer in the face….

As a black person 

You’re tired 

Of the bull shit

Of the microaggressions 

Of stereotypes 

Of all the things that you have to go through…

You’re not the only one who feels this way…

You never have to let white people slide 

Not even other races….

You stand up for yourself….

You stand up for your community….

I don’t mind 

Watchin black people 

Whoopin white folks’ ass 

On social media, it gives me joy 

Cos who the hell are you talkin to?

We’re not in slavery 

White folks ain’t our masters 

Anymore….

I saw how they act 

Like they’re still slaveowners

They need to get out of that 

And leave black people alone….

They won’t….

Fuck around and find out 

Smack downs 

Does 

Exist…..

We don’t let that bull shit slide 

Anymore….

It does give me hope….

I just wish there were 

More billion of us 

Stand on business 

Instead of tellin other black people 

To let it slide….

Buckra

Buckra 

Means 

White people 

In Jamaica…

You learn 

Something 

Everyday…

Buckra took over 

The world…buckra 

Snatched lands…

Buckra invented 

A system where 

They brainwashed melanated 

Nations to bow down and 

Kiss their dirty feet…

Now am I lyin?

I hope beautiful people 

In Jamaica and other Caribbean islands 

Don’t mind me usin Buckra…

At this second 

I’m seein a colonizer 

A slaveowner

In my head…

Buckra 

White folks

White people

Don’t call me racist 

All I said 

Buckra 

I learned that day….

In fear

 In fear 

In fear 

In cowardness 

What if I stop writin 

My black poems altogether?

What if someone tells me to drop 

My pen?

What will happen?

I might not write for black people 

Anymore…

Might be the one who strongly encourages 

Me to write we’re one human race 

Kind of poems…

I won’t be allowed to be pro black 

Cos possibly 

My books will get banned…

I’m not a famous author…

I’m just a poetess 

Who writes things….

Things that matter 

People matter 

Oh black people matter, too 

Don’t forget that….

I’m not tryin to be hard 

I’m honest….

I have scenarios 

I have inspirations

I have gone too far with 

My black poems….

And I got a few readers who enjoy 

Them…. I love givin facts in 

Metaphors, and I won’t be too tired…..

Yet if I were a famous writer 

All over the world 

With these black poems 

It’s possible that I get banned 

At a school library 

Or a bookstore refuse to sell

Possibility that my website might be 

Taken down 

Cos all this black power 

All this truth….

Who knows….

There are some black people 

who snitch out of fear 

They would be too quiet 

Thinkin I said enough 

Maybe i shouldn’t be too dangerous 

I got death threats…..

They would speak their apologies 

To white supremacy….

In fear

It’s a syndrome 

A trauma response….

I can say 

We shouldn’t be afraid of

 White folks

We should defend ourselves 

And not feel ashamed about it…

That’s how we break a cycle

I think 

Being scared of white people 

And their system is a generational curse….

I think we have this habit of 

Tellin our people not to get so bold 

Towards them….

I have talked about fear in my other 

Pieces…it could be a scar to our brains 

And our hearts…it weakens our strength 

Our unity…black peoples let all the energy into 

A white man so much…it’s the truth….

I don’t like to admit it..some still believe in their 

Hearts that a white man is still superior….

What makes it more scarier, 

There are other black people who are actin like 

A white man who treats their race like garbage….

And in fear, 

We never know they might act like 

KKK runnin in the streets….

And I’m just writin what I called it….
