Whiteness is nothing but false and oppressive-
compulsive-obsessive on how, “I don’t even see race”
yet from day one we’re conditioned with regard to our place
and theirs’
Binary pairs
black or white good or evil in the country where all men are supposed to B equal
we go to great lengths to protect just one people
White flight now gentrification
Anyone watching Detroit the sequel?
You know Episode 6 the return of white people.
It used to be Black but whiteness got a lock on what’s legal
And what black got is locked up/shot up
Disproportionately
“I’m not racist” but I live in a society that is, at least
Structurally
If not de facto – whiteness won’t acknowledge the facts though
So our gaze is fixed, pretend not to notice Uncle Sam’s Bait & Switch
Instead we discuss the efficacy of policy like the 7 year itch
Which is very abstract
but when black walks by I clutch my private property he’s liable to snatch
Subconscious bordering on instinct we act,
On the lie we’ve been told, but I for one am determined to break out of this mold,
we can’t just wait for the crown jewels to be melted so we can return the gold
we stole cause we’re too bust still stealin
after all we commodified wheelin and deanlin,
and when we finally pull out the indigenous left realin
we label em developing when their lands depleated
& now the cycle is being repeated
And the World Bank will finance the problems we seeded
Or will we stand up declare Ubuntu!
not money is what’s really needed
