Are black people human?
Are black humans human?
Are we allow to have pain?
Should we give white folks some grace?
A pass?
Cos black people are human
Look at a black man
Look at a black woman
Look at a black child
But not in this world
Only white folks are human….
Only white folks can be more human
Than black folks….
That’s what I see….
So don’t give me
Skin color doesn’t matter
Bull shit….
The world ignores our tears
They told us to hold ourselves together
Get over it…
With so much anger that creates
Wrinkles upon our faces….
We trained to shush and smile
Nothin happened….
There are self hated black people
Who hold disrespect like trophies….
They told us to leave it alone
They don’t mean by it
And it feels like we can’t get anywhere….
Self hated black people believe in their minds
They ain’t human…
They think of themselves as monkeys and niggers
Not knowin the full story of our past….
Slave mentality is real
Trauma is in our faces
It’s deep….
When are they goin to have a wake up call?
Or is it never?
Cos white people judge black skin
That melanin
They want it
The obsession
And we judge them by their violence
By their envy
By their hate
White folks know we’re humans
But still dehumanizin us on purpose…
Why do you think white supremacy exists?
They boss us around
Tellin us not to feel
Hold our heartache in our bones
And this is why we need to fight back….
This is why our anger should be pointin at racism….
It’s unforgivable
It shouldn’t be given grace….
We’re humans
We’re definitely a human…
The original
The first…
And we should be whoopin
White folks ass…..
Cos of their disrespect
Of their violence
Of their dehumanization
Of their destruction….
When we punch them in their face
They automatically say I’m sorry
Or other dumb shit…
They knew what they’re sayin…
They should leave us alone….
Black people are humans….
Not three fifths
Not a half
A whole damn human….
