“In this nation people assume they can write your story from beginning to end, and wait for you to fall into place on the stage that has been set, it is why every conversation scans like a hostage negotiation, with your humanity being the item that's up for deliberation.” RaceRacism And CulturePolitics And CulturePerson Of Colour Book:Meet Me at the Intersection Source: Meet Me at the Intersection
“Melanin Maniacs (The Sonnet) White guy writes a couple of sonnets and plays, And he is idolized as an olympian deity. Colored guy smashes the paradigm to ashes, And it warrants absolute unacceptability. Apparently, greatness is only greatness, If it can be credited to a caucasian. Otherwise they only end up pondering, What's the deal with this non-white person! It's a sad, sad world we live in, All the advancement is on the outside. Inside we are dumber than Donald Duck, Which has ruined all hope for real insight. Enough of this obsession with white aphrodisiacs! It's time to act as humans, and not melanin maniacs.” Systemic RacismSkin ColorRacism And CultureWhitewashGenius WritersColorismWhitewashingWhite Supremacy SyndromePerson Of ColourRacism Poetry Book:Corazon Calamidad: Obedient to None, Oppressive to None Source: Corazon Calamidad: Obedient to None, Oppressive to None
