Dilute 

I used to 
Think love is love 
Love has no color 
Til I learned about racism..
A whole lot…

Now I see a big picture 

If I were still 
Ignorant and naive 
I would still think 
Black people 
Are racist….

I would still think 
If the truth still hurts 
My feelings cos 

I like white men 
Or Asian men 
Or any kind of race of men….

I would still have never 
Understood why 
Black person and a white person
Can be together….

I have learned 
The damage that comes 
With an interracial relationship…
I learned it was a trick 
Abuse 
Only to dilute the blooodline of melanin 
For white people to survive….
Even the other races….

There’s a lot of low 
Self esteem in blackness….
That black self hate…
I witnessed
Black people don’t see it that way 
They say you can love who you love 
Doesn’t matter what skin color is….

Now 
I look at the situation differently 
I hear other black people 
Like dr. Umar 
Go be with and marry black people
No zaddy 
No snowbunny
He’s got a point….

Besides a white partner
Is goin to stick with their race….
White supremacy will always be 
On their side….
White lovers 
Fetishized black bodies 
They will kill them
Even if your biracial kids 
Will experience racism and confusion….

The only reason why 
Black love does exist 
Is preservin your race
Healing 
It’s deeply needed…
I post black love 
On social media 
Cos a lot of black people 
Need to see it more on a positive light….
Black love is under attack….

Dilute 
Is losin blackness out of 
Your bloodline 
Out of Your genes…
Even though it’s still the blueprint 
You’re makin your generations
To forget black….
Forget ancestors 
Somehow one ancestor 
Will pop somewhere in 
Your great great grandkids….
I will say consequence
Live in your family tree….

All cos 
You 
Hate 
Your 
Black 
Self 
You 
Internalized 
That 
Hate 
From racial propaganda 
From other black people 
Who hate themselves 
As well….
From white folks 
From conditions of trauma….

I used to think 
Black people
Are not being fair 
Cos of my “preference”
I thought it was hate 
Cos I believed love has no skin color 
Til I realized what I have observed 
And read stories 
How interracial relationships 
Killed black spirits….
They’re like manipulation 
Black people has to be controlled 
In the White Households….
Like a slave….
They deal with racist family members 
The fact is that I see some videos of 
Black people actin like animals….

I don’t wanna marry 
White men 
I don’t wanna marry 
Asian men
I’m not dilutin 
My blackness for nobody….
I don’t wanna betray my race 
I don’t wanna hate myself 
I rather be with black people 
Who has self respect and dignity…..

I don’t even wanna crush 
On another man who doesn’t look like 
Me anymore….
I rather stay with my black man….
My black man is not toxic 
My black man is not a deadbeat baby daddy…
My black man is my husband 
My black man loves me…
My black man is strong and masculine 
My black man is my protector, my provider….
He’s not goin for a white woman….
I love my black man 

Black men and black women
Need each other 
Anyway especially dealin 
With the oppression…..
Black people need to put this in 
Mind that white supremacy 
Is attackin the black family….
It’s why they encouraged us to dilute 
Our genetics….some black people 
Encourage it, too….

Don’t do it
Cos 
We need us 
Don’t do it for the white man….
He wants us to disappear 
But at the same time he needs us…..

Don’t dilute 
Please….
