"We all have off days when do not feel like being bothered, sometimes they last for a few. The thing is to be respectful of also who have those type of days being mindful as well. Especially of them that you care for. Respect and consideration should always be reciprocal" Kuwpa

Kings and Queens...

Do you know what it gets on my nerves?
When a person comments on Instagram
Sayin racism is hate…oppression is a system
Only to confuse me, only to put me in my place…
Yes I blocked this person and so everyone else…

Racism is a system, racism is slavery…
Another term for white supremacy..
And these people white people also black people
Keep sayin it doesn’t exist…

Denial has pluck my last nerve…
Racism is a system, racism is power..
Do you know what else that annoys me?
Well people defend racism over talk the other…

Sayin skin color doesn’t matter…
Sweetie, it does…
White supremacy judges skin color every single day
24/7….

The only reason why nobody wants to bring up race
Cos certain people, certain people of Europeans
Doesn’t feel all red of guilt…they got too comfortable
On us not usin our black voices to speak on slavery, Jim Crow
They feel entitled to quiet us, they don’t wanna lose their power….
They don’t wanna lose their survival…

Why do you think they have a woke act in the first place?
A state of Florida?
They still want black people to stay asleep…
They don’t want them to rise up….

You can see racism is a hateful system
But it’s an impression of fear….and also jealousy
Ya they hate black people but they need us…

I keep sayin black people can’t be racist
Cos we don’t have a system…

I know I keep repeatin myself over and over…
Black people can never be racist…
We don’t say you can’t be here cos you’re white
Though we should be racist….

We should be racist for our own people…
Why?
It’s all we have, we should give them a dose of medicine
We should be selfish for our black race…

We don’t think like that, we usually welcome everyone
When we do love everyone, the integration took an advantage
Of our kindness…

So to a person who commented
Tryin to confuse me
I blocked you
And wrote a poem
About

How do you get on my nerves
Tryin to tell me racism is about hate
Racism is a fuckin system….

I’m not goin to let anybody use today’s definition
Of the word racism…
It’s not goin to happen..

I know people keep changin definitions of every word
All the time
This is one of them….

Again
White supremacy doesn’t want black people to wake up
And rise up….
It’s why woke is a bad thing to them….for them, it’s Political
Somehow they love to use it a lot
Cos

We as black people said it first..
We created a term for us meanin aware of
What’s happenin and knowin about the systematic racism
Oppression..

They be like, y’all are not supposed to know that
Y’all are not allowed to know that

Yet they are not very good at hidin their actions…

It’s there in our faces but some are too blind by
Cognitive dissonance…✊🏿💯©️ Kai C. 4-10-23
