Now this, this is how politics work in your collective favor. Everyone else buys their lobiests, senators, Congress people, etc. We're the only group that will see how everybody else plays the game and do the opposite. We'll say "it's chess not checkers" all the whole we're playing UNO.
Black tears
You know what?
I don’t give a fuck
About white tears….
I really don’t…
Cos white tears
Are dangerous,
Especially comin
From a white woman
Who gets her way
All the time….
I care
About black tears
Only…
And they rain too much
That’s okay cos
Black tears has the right to pour
For a reason…
Yet we black folks still get ignored
Our cries still get silent
Unfortunately
We’re used to it….
I’m tired of
White tears
Just cos
Of your white privilege has provoked….
And they’re actually fake….
Your feelings ain’t real
You just want it to be your way
The white way….
That’s a narcissist of you….
And I’m also tired
Of black tears
I’m tired of us
Cryin every time an atrocity hits
Like when are we goin to fuck The system up?
When are we goin to come and unite as a people?
Like how many times I said racism speaks violence?
We need to wake up
Stand up
And fight back…it’s necessary….
Stop all that cryin
We better act on our anger….
Fuck The gospel, fuck the soothin
And calmin…fuck all the forgiveness
Type of bull shit…
We have cried so much to the point
We desensitized now….
We still believe there’s nothin
We can do, but pray and forgive
That’s a cycle black people…
That’s our mental illness…
Please get out of that, and burn that motherfucker
Down….
Our black tears
I’m tired of seein them
Drop….on our windowpane
Yes it’s our voice…
We keep sobbin louder and louder
In the streets marchin writin poetry…
Racism still ignore the shit out of us….
Sometimes
When we get pissed off,
We throw Stuff, we flip tables
We break glass…why can we do that
To white supremacy who abused us for centuries?
They caused black tears….their fake long waited apologies
Doesn’t stop them from showerin all the world…
Ancestors cried, we catch them…..
Our black tears
Don’t get a lot of attention
Only white tears
Cos still today
White women are still damsel in distress….
Even other races of women
Who use white tears to get black people in trouble, too…
Especially black men…
It’s no wonder why I said long ago
White people give black people are hard time..
They still do….
And you can’t say racism is over
When the whole world still ignore black tears…
They still think black people are not human…
I would like to ask you this question,
If we black race ain’t human,
Then why are we angry?
Why do we wail?
Why do we get so upset?
Tell me
Why do we feel pain?
Don’t gaslight
Don’t justify
Don’t say black tears are fake….
Don’t say we’re one fifth human…
It ain’t goin to fly by….
Black people
Has feelings
We be feelin somethin
We be feelin everythin
We be thinkin
We got souls
We ain’t animals
Tell your friend
Darwin
I know he’s dead but
Tell him and his friends
Are bunch of motherfuckers
Who thought we black people ain’t human
And y’all are the natural selection…really?
Did they do that for their survival?
I know they know
Black people are human
They see our black tears
Drippin down to our cheeks
Cos all of the colonization
And the whiteness they did….
I care about
Black tears…
I cry along, too…

This metal mask was used during slavery for 3 main reasons...
1) To prevent the slaves from eating fruits such as apples, pineapples, oranges, cashews, bananas, plantains and sugarcanes etc while harvesting them, yet they were made to work consistently in all the plantation farms.
2) To stop the slaves from chanting our African spiritual songs. Not only that those our spiritual and war songs affected the slave masters, it also motivated some slaves to rebel and fight back not minding losing their lives.
3) To stop slaves form teaching our African local dialects (languages) to their children…whereby destroyed our dialects and forced them to learn foreign languages.
4) Last but not the least, to starve slaves as a punishment in the slave camps. The mask prevented them from eating or drinking.
Sometimes the slave masters would force an apple (a whole) into the mouths of slaves before they wore the metal mask on them with the padlocks so that they couldn't talk.
I won’t contempt you
I won’t contempt you
Your body and soul…
I won’t contempt your love,
All the things you lay out for me
I keep…I keep in these filled journals
Of my heart…it’s where I feel you near me
It’s where I hold you close to my bone
Why would I leave you?
You don’t belong in the dark…
You belong to me in the twilight….
How could I contempt you?
If my heartstrings pull you along?
Have you follow my shadow in the pathway?
I put my soul in your hands….
So you remember me forever
So you could chase me miles and miles
Every lifetime…you know our love is still
Brand new, always fresh….
Cos I won’t contempt you…
I will never do….
Real love shouldn’t be vile…
If two people who are genuinely kind
To each other,
It’s no reason to contempt in the first place…. 🍭🫶🏾🐻❣️♾️♥️©️ Kai C. 9-10-24
