Do you remember Dylan Roof?
Who shoots at a black church?
Black people died at his hands…
And do you remember other black people
At the church who went to Dylan Roof
At a small room, they forgave him?
I remember the camera seein his face
With no remorse at all…
Black people who are black Christians
Forgive him cos that’s what they supposed to do..
Sayin it’s the right thing to do..
I heard there were persuasion In whispers
They have to forgive him…
Like forcin to forgive a white guy who shot many
People…. And that we shall overcome….

This condition, this part of willie lynch syndrome
Those Stockholm that came from slavery
Is an annoyin….like there’s no self respect in our
Melaninated race…. We don’t hold white people
Accountable, we don’t make them responsible for
What they exactly did…we continue to forgive
Like it was an accident…like nothin happened…
The fact that we put god on a pedestal stool t
As we say god forgive, so we forgive….
It’s why i don’t wanna forgive racism, cos racism isn’t an
Incident…racism is done on purpose…it’s addin another injury
And another and another and another….you may forgive
The colonizers all you want, that’s your business …..

I don’t….cos I understand white supremacy….
I understand we’re in a lifetime war….
And I’m tryin to get people to see this
Black people
A lot of them have no idea what’s happenin….
A lot of them forgive not knowin it’s a gaslight….

Do you remember officer Amber Guyger
Who went to a black man’s apartment
And killed the brotha?
Then In court his family forgave her
Showed her compassion
Givin her a hug
Remember that?
We’re sick, we’re deeply sick
And we don’t realize we’re sick…..
We genuinely fall for her white tears
Thinkin they’re real
Some of us like cut the bull shit….
She knew what she did…
But we forgave her right?
We gave our bleedin hearts to her
Singin we shall overcome….we pray for her
A young man a relative of the brotha said
I hope she deserves the best
And what not…
Where is the self respect in that?
I remember he loosened his tie….
Is that a symbol? I heard it was…..
Though

I can tell when black people
Forgive white supremacy that keeps abusin them
It really means they hate themselves…
They don’t forgive one another
And themselves
Thanks slavery
Thanks colonization
Thanks white supremacy

It’s why I don’t forgive racial tragedies
Besides forgiveness is to maintain the white supremacy…
It’s another tactic, it’s another trick….
Just like apologies…another one
To have black people to say I’m sorry
I’m so sorry for speakin facts…
To me, that should be uncomfortable
Yet it usually pisses me off…

Again this is the right thing to forgive
Cos sky daddy, Jesus said so….
He said turn the other cheek
And obey your massa…
Right after the slaves got slaughtered
By a massa belt several times….

I’m just sayin….

That creates some kind of disability….
A different type of Stockholm syndrome
Where the slaves continue to forgive their masters…
It’s trauma….
That trauma continues to passed down
To many black families…
It’s a sad tradition I’ve ever observed….

I don’t have love for forgiveness
Cos of the history and trauma
That black people have to face….

Once again
You do have the right to forgive racism
It’s your choice…
If you think racism is a mistake
And we’re one human race
By all means,
Go ahead be ignorant
I can’t change everyone’s mind
But I can make some of you think….
