To Zimbabwean
I heard you voted Becky
To be a queen, to be a beauty queen in
Your country…oh yes European beauty
Standards are still alive…right?
Are y’all downplayin black girl magic?
Are y’all tellin African women they ain’t pretty?
Just a colonizer should be allowed to be beautiful….
After all, you love whiteness…you’ve been programmed
To cherish an imperialist’s ugly heart…
You keep sayin yes to the white man
Makin his system grow stronger
While your inferiority complex paints you a monster….
You’re not a monster, Zimbabwean…
You have a low self esteem…
Ever since colonialism came around
Whitenin you up, Christianin you up…
Let me remind y’all and the rest of Africa
You were robbed, you were raped, you were poisoned
You were pillaged you were conditioned to forgive
Them over and over cos
In your white mind, not the black mind
Jesus said so….
You voted a white girl, oh I’m a racist…
Ok fine, I’m a racist…but you got a lot of
Self hate in you…in your bones…..
Zimbabwean a lot of self disrespect
Cos you love white folks…
The rest of Africa loves white people…
It’s why they still can’t learn a damn thing…
I’m not sayin all Africans,
But there are a lot..
Who still worship a white man,
And he’s not superior…
He’s not god…
So when I found out Zimbabwean
Select a white woman to be a beauty queen
In their black country…
All I witness self hatred written in their
Shinin smiles…again European beauty
Standards never dies, especially in Africa….
Why do you think colorism exists?
They want light skin, closer to whiteness..
Now is it that sick?
Don’t tell me shit like skin color doesn’t matter,
When I observe everythin in one small clip
Of their first white beauty queen in Africa
Wearin their culture like it’s a costume….
The white privilege of it all….
Zimbabwean
Y’all need to check yourselves…
Y’all voted a snowbunny…
African girls will look up to her
And say I wanna be like her
She doesn’t even look like them…
Are you goin to tell this Becky that she has
Black girl magic, too?
Cos she has none…
