Kissin

Two black boys
Got kissed on the cheek
By a white girl,
They were little….
Two black boys
Got kissed on the cheek
By a white girl…
And she told her mom
And they got in trouble….
But it was a white girl’s fault….
I don’t care if she was a kid
She saw white women do it,
To use her privilege to get
Black men in trouble….
Now the two black boys
Dealt with the horrors
Accusin them as rapists…
And they’re not….
That white girl knew what she was doin…
I bet there’s a smirk in her expression…
I don’t think that was a kissin game
Or somethin…. I didn’t know
They could hold hands….
And look, those black boys
They were young
They were in the Jim Crow era
And there were so many lynchings
Happenin durin that time….

To my brothas
Out there,
Who’s datin a snowbunny
Please be careful
Please look up this story about
Two small black boys
Go look up on any other stories
About black men being lynched
For winkin at a white woman…
I beg of you
For your safety….any stories about
A black boyfriend who died in the hands of
A white girlfriend….
Cos y’all never know….I mean that from the
Bottom of my heart….you said it’s in the past
But it’s a broken record….
And this is one of the reasons why
Dr. Umar gets on you all the time…
Cos shit like that
Like death…
Like prison….
The worst part about it is
That you brothas hate yourselves to
Much to the point where
Yall don’t know or blind to see
The danger is ahead of y’all…
Yall don’t wanna die in the hands of
Becky or Karen….
Yall don’t wanna be marked by her white tears….
That’s why your mama secretly gets upset
When you bring a white girl home….
She knows the history
She knows what a white woman is capable of….
This isn’t racist…
This is the truth…

Be careful
Is all I’m sayin
I know you don’t wanna read this poem
I know you don’t wanna listen to me
But if the shit gets darker,
Don’t come over
Some of us warned you before
But y’all are so naive….💯✊🏿🤬©️ Kai C. 2-12-24
