I just love my people

Why do White people get upset when a Black person doesn't love/promote/encourage them?


I have walked by  White people who immediately grab tightly to there purse and child
Truly found it difficult to experience a smile, if I wasn't working for them
Will keep a floor clerk in a store keeping a close watch on every move I make
Not blind to the eyes in the sky zooming in on a brown face
Security in the video room just claims that he's doing his job
That African-American looked suspicious he went on
Looks like he or she was on a mission
I'm checking now to see if anything is missing

As a White woman or man you will never understand
The daily ignorance we deal with
I'm getting tired of having to deal with those who cannot feel my pain
Or recognize the social and economical strain
That face Kings and Queens with beautiful skin like mine

Why should I waste time celebrating the independence of America
While my ancestors were still in chains at that time and long after
Our great mothers being raped over and over and over by White men
Our strong fathers being whipped and castrated by White men in front of their wives
You want to talk about destroying the African man's manhood
Imagine that picture for a while

Ever saw that black and white picture of a young White girl around the age of seven
I'm going to call her Sally May
Little Sally was smirking when she saw a Nigga hanged that day
Now Sally is older and she has been getting paid
Offered to get you in school
Now that you are out, Sally's watching the economy prepare your noose
While Ms. May kicks the chair from under our legs

Damn near break your neck in two
To pay her cost of education
Her plan to have us continuously learning about the same race that made me a second class citizen
How traps are provided for me to stay in position
So as I raise my children I instill in them that they will always be suffering
Naturally they will look for the quickest way to provide and stay alive
Because the teachers hardly aim to encourage Negro youth
Of which the White teachers are afraid of, the suspicious children

Single African parents are overworked
Watching their babies grow up so fast it hurts
So they abandon school not being educated and just yelled at
School is something that they believe they can't accomplish
What that teacher is preaching is garbage
White teachers cannot understand all of the elements that go on in Africa's youth's mind

How many times must I sit in a History class
And never be told MY-story of the Africans who came before me
Never educated the class on my culture that I would expect to be considered American history
I guess there must have been something wrong with me
We need to band together and present a better case for our culture and our nature
But all of us haven't been taught the proper love of one another
Responsibility to our families or knowledge of our legacy
To over-stand how powerful we really are

That this "UNITY" cry isn't crazy at all
Blinded by this eras campaign of loving integration, the media monopolizes 
And subliminally, TRY to convince EYE that Black and White
And all nationalities are bound in this melting pot
While some of us may have joined another color and bore
The lot of us are separated by CHOICE
So if we prefer to take over several towns have our own building and stores
Made with our own money and needing NONE of yours
So you won't have to feel offended that we are wearing your designer clothes
Because we will be adorning our own frocks

It is from my experience that certain Whites with power or money still like to see
Either a Nigga or another ethnic version of me to work for pennies for them
Now it's a crime to pay them nothing especially in mass quantities
The Richest of the Rich have Blacks still slaving for them on their acres of land
But you're to naive to believe that some Whites still proclaim
That we were meant to be slaves

But racism is dead? You must be crazy if that is what you have said
White people just won't accept the fact that WE will never forget what they created
African descendants are still treated like Aliens in what is supposedly "our" land too
I say DROP the American and just call me AFRICAN
Over here in America we should build Africa number two
White people piss me off because when I want to encourage my own people
They call me a racist because I didn't include their name in it

This is not about you
I just want my people to have our own property
And feel welcome in our own communities not matter our hue, education or tradition
Teach and encourage our youth so Whites  are no longer are left to do it
And our children will see that Black Love should be more of a movement
I am not wrong for wanting the progression of my own
You are wrong for making me struggle to do it
And wrong for making me explain why
Haven't you had enough of controlling those who look like EYE

{For any other nationality of people who dig this, Peace.}
