Slocum

1.

I always wanted to read this
Book about a place where
There was so much genocide
In Texas….bloodshed that was
Kept under the rugs…
White folks were like, shushhhh
We don’t talk about it…shushhhh..
Ok? They knew exactly what they did….

Look at their bloodstains upon
Their pale skins…they benefit from
Black Deaths, from their ancestors in their
Family cos they thought black people
Planned an uprisin and they never did….
Actually they were jealous of their success….
They don’t like when black people were on their
Own doin better than them…they were without them….

2.
It’s all started with
A disabled white farmer
Who caused chaos in a black town
I wonder if he was secretly being used
Cos the community was thrivin at the time….
Maybe…. I wonder if white people with disabilities
Have destroyed a black community without
Even knowin, without findin out….I mean white women
Were being used with her white tears to destroy our beautiful
Economy….it’s possible..we just never know…
Cos white people with disabilities have white supremacy
By the hand….and we have to keep that in mind….
And if they were being used, I wouldn’t be surprised…
Honestly, you can’t trust anybody
Especially when it comes to started a race riots in a black town
Where we were just mindin our business….

3-
Did you know
That black towns are just ghost towns
Forever?
It’s why American history is so hidden in the
Dark but when we bring it to light,
We open our minds and was like
These white folks, these white men
They can’t seem to leave us alone….
They find a way to crumble our own shit…

Remember
We did have our own schools
Our post offices, stores
We did build our own everythin
We were buildin we were by ourselves…
Peaceful…til a spy came over and then their candidates
Showed up startin trouble….

You need to understand
This… Neely Fuller said this,
White supremacy doesn’t like when
Black people doin constructive things
Together …black unity is a monster to their
Eyes…. That’s why they destroyed black communities

And Slocum is a part of it….

Slocum is a ghost town…it carries grudges and
Scars…

It’s why I would like to read this book…
To know exactly how it happened….✊🏿💯©️ Kai C. 1-28-24
