If you could go back, would you choose to be black?
If you had the same birthday, life, and God gave you a second time
Would you choose to be black in America?
If you could go back, would you still want to be raised in the harshness and violence of selective America vs Blacks?
Or would you prefer to be comfortable with the imagination of Fear of Blacks?
If you could go back, would you bless yourself with the chosen skin of the Creator?
Or would you prefer the murder of the colonizer who claim they built America?
Though we all know that those with that mindset don’t do any heavy and dirty work
They pass it down to those who don’t have the resources, but they forget it’s all muscle
If you are non black American can you honestly say that you would prefer to be black in America knowing what you know now?
Can you honestly sit there on your high horses and think that America is just?
Can you say that America is welcoming?
Can you say that America is fair?
Can you say that America is the best country to live in to those not from here?
Can you say that America is respectful?
Can you say that America will never change?
America is not the land of the Free
Nothing is free in America not even death
America is the “You Give Me Your Soul and I’ll Give you a Crumb,”
America is the 1% that gets to enjoy everything about America
While the rest argue over what changes should be done, but never act
Are we all not just humans who were created in different shades?
Economic separation people can actually understand and say create change
But when it comes to race, those of non black turn to the blind side and hope it’s all a dream
Well so do blacks, we hope and pray it is all a dream and that one day I don’t have to fear my coworker
Or a stranger on a subway…..my middle school classmate…..my local dentist klansman…..my neighbors…..
For black Americans we are scared to leave out of our front doors, not knowing if we will ever return
We are also scared to move into a new front door, not knowing if cops will be called praying to put 20 bullets to the head
Especially if we used the amenities that we also pay for
The reality is the image of America is the non black rich American’s sitting on a throne with black… Strong…Demanding… Fast… Big…Thugs…or more degrading description “a pack of NIGGAS,” at their feet
But let’s be real non black Americans love everything about Niggas
From the clothes…hair…body…vibes…persistence…work ethics…determination…willingness…language…style…
Even our skin color….but yet you say you don’t want to be black
Who are you fooling…your slavemaster ancestors? Or that person in the mirror?
So again I ask, if you could go back, would you choose to be Black?
