Melanated People

13 w

Nobody likes
To look in the mirror
And feel bad about
It, so they hid their
Wrongdoings
Not takin accountability
For what they have done…
Which i could understand
But

However
Why are they keep
Harmin others?
And disguise their
Bloody hands?

They’re tryin to prevent
Their feelings
From discussin the issue
And erasin those pages
Of history…

It’s hard to
Acknowledge
The harsh reality of
A cruel character…
A cruelest character
Who envies about
Skin color, who truly cares
About color….and when
A melaninated person calls
It out, well a Caucasian
Gets defensive…like I’ve already
Study that insecurities are
Pourin out mix in with
White guilt

Other people told
That black person to
Shut up nobody wants to
Listen to the truth, you
Know the truth doesn’t
Get all the attention, only
Lies are better
Makin the greatest sales
Ever….

Yes I’m speakin
About white guilt
White folks can’t handle
It…. They said it’s not
My fault get over it
They benefits from the harm against
Black people….
I have a thought
About white supremacy
Has taught white people
To act like nothin happened
However it did….
Their worldview historical criminal records
Show how much evil they place on earth
And still they learn to the other cheek….
Past keeps comin up
In the present day
Like strange fruit is still happenin
In 2025
Yet it’s a secret sayin it’s a foul play
Or suicide….
You know white guilt
And feel it
Cos it does affect you
Black people will always talk
About their experiences
Their pain
Dealin with white people
On a daily basis….

If we’re
Goin to have difficult conversations
About
Racism
White people need to listen
How they feel
Especially when they have so called black friends….
For me,
I do want white people
To feel this white guilt
I want white people to
Bow their heads in shame
For placin terror upon
My people…
This is why I write
Poems
About
It

Cos

People need to know
Especially
My race
We need to heal
We can’t get over slavery
If history repeats itself
Meanin
There’s a modern day slavery
We’re not on the plantation
We’re at work
At school
Day program
Stores
White people are still treatin
Black people like they ain’t humans….

It was by design
For years
And we call it out
As best we can
Trauma is our pattern…
We still have the mental slave mindset
And white people still have those
Slaveowner vibes….

Nobody wants to look
In the mirror
Someone refuses to…
Someone who will say be quiet
Don’t talk about it….
White people know
What they did what their ancestors did
They lift their fingers to shush
And gaslight black people with their weaponized
Mlk I have a dream quote….

Let’s be honest
White people
Truly care about
Skin color
Cos they really want our melanin
So bad….
They want our culture
Our soul….
It’s why they won’t leave us
Alone….they still don’t want us
In our spaces however
They can, like for real
It’s backwards and obsession…
White people keep doin
That over and over
Cos they want our energy….

This is why
I want them to feel
And acknowledge
And take an accountability
For their wrongdoings….
So they could dismantle
Their whiteness…
They have to realize
That their own pale nations
Created whiteness
Mythical whiteness
That got the world so fool
Only cos of power and survival….
Plus your Europeans never
Wanna feel insecure
Never wanna feel inferior
Yet when black people shine
Oh hell breaks loose….

Violence after violence
And you can see throughout
The centuries….
And they won’t admit
Their white guilt
Their consequences expose
It…
Some do
Some will apologize
However

We black people
Can’t trust them
We do have the right
Not to trust them
Not to forgive….
We shouldn’t…
Can you blame us?

White supremacy is
On purpose…it’s not a mistake….

So if we ever have this
Discussion as simple friends
And we talk about that serious topic
Is uncomfortable,
There are facts I might say bluntly
As a mirror
You don’t wanna face
It’s okay…just listen
Don’t gaslight
Don’t lie
Don’t…
Say somethin
Or not….

White guilt
