Say no

You can say 
No to white folks 
It’s ok 
You can’t have what they 
Get, doesn’t suit them well….
But they white folks 
Will tell you 
You’re racist…
Why? 
Cos you gatekeep 
Your own culture….
They manipulate 
Gaslight you 
To make you feel bad 
 Cos 

You said no…

They colonize
They steal
They pillage 
Our stuff ain’t theirs…
But we’re force to give up 
Ourselves to them
And for what?

Survival?
Life?
Energy?

We both have 
To learn to stop sharin 
Learn to be on our own 
Without colonizer’s watchful eyes 
Our souls are not theirs to begin with,…

Let them have tantrums 
Let them cry 
If they try to kill you 
Fight them 

Stop sayin
Yes to 
White people
All the time…
They’re not entitled 
To your peace 
To your kindness 
To your forgiveness 
Don’t give them energy….

Say no 
No is a great word 
To speak 
To utter 
To show in genuine verb
We ain’t their slaves 
We ain’t their kids….

We need to get out of 
Conditions of obedience 
We need to stop bendin and foldin 
We need to stop sayin ok in fear

You know that, right?
Say no….
Please black people
I wanna see more of us 
Carryin a straight spine 
No hesitation 
Cos defendin 
Ourselves are not racist….
Also don’t listen to the ones 
Who has that self hate for blackness 
To encourage you to say yes 
Who tell you don’t stand up for 
Yourselves….
They’re usually with white supremacists 
So be wise, be cautious 
Don’t let them change your mind….

Say no
Always no…💯✊🏿©️Kai C. 6-11-26
