9.29.22 REALITY CHECK
A PANDORA’S BLACK BOX INSTALLMENT
You underestimate the impact of systemic oppression on children The Democrats
No one needs a study to prove that Ukranian children have needs
Why is that when the victims have Black or brown skin
You find yourself at a loss to explain what’s happening
Regardless of human rights abuses United Nations
There is no excuse for it
You know this The White House
You lie when you say
America has equality
You know what’s happening to Black Americans
We’re being systematically eradicated
YOU JUST DON’T CARE President Joe Biden
Yet you expect us to be okay with that?
Voting in November will change none of that!
Suppression of racist, right-wing extremism will handle
A good deal of it!
But even if you know the impact
You underestimate the devastation
As you do all things
When you grow up being told
You are less than every white man
One of them is worth 5 Black men
And your mother
Is worth even less than that
Then you are blocked from all access
To anything that would allow
Existence Amnesty International
You are blamed for how you are treated
But worst still
You are told your mother is the true abomination
Then you watch your mother get abused by the nation
With absolute tyranny and impunity
Decade after decade
It takes a toll on most human beings
Dismissing such evil
Is the reason it exists
Your teachers hate you
Regardless of your actions
You have one or two
Here or there
Who treat you like a human
But then again it gets complicated
Security follows you everywhere you go
When they find out you're in a safe house again
Trying to escape abuse
“Your mother did it”
That’s the consistent message
Your father only matters
If he’s not a Black man
If he is, it’s assumed he’s Satan
If he’s not
No one asks a single question
The mother did it
Regardless of circumstances
Regardless of her being trafficked
By and to wealthy elite white men
Can you imagine battling that self-image? UN Women
Regardless of the fact that you must relocate
On a whim
Every time a man you’ve never seen
Speaks
You don’t understand
How could you
It’s simply a matter of confusion
Exclusion
Abuse
And more abuse again
“Your mother did it”
That’s the consistent message
No questions of Dad
Unless he is a Black man
If he is
Then he too is an abomination
No accountability for crimes committed
Forced breeding
Stolen children
Separated from siblings
Rendered homeless
Income and assets
Constantly stolen
Tortured
Constantly attacked
Men you don’t know
Have never seen
Controlling from behind the scenes
All you know is
The only parent you rely on daily
Is always to blame
Society mirrors this message
In every circumstance
Black women constantly degraded
Mistreated
Discriminated
No protections
Black American women
Are the least protected vessels
On the planet
“Without a father you’ll never make it”
We always hear
That’s why they take them away
Then make fun of us for “allowing” it
They never tell you it’s because
Predators gain access to your everything
Then strip it away
That America runs paramilitary operations
Allowing predators to prey with impunity
To “keep negroes in their place”
Like it’s 1622
Like it’s 1822
Like it’s 1952
Like it’s 1982
But certainly not in 2022!
Women still need male protectors
Simply because there is no one
To keep predators away
Is it 1322
Or 1122
Is it 322
I literally have lived in caves!
Laws mean nothing for Black women
Ask the DOJ
How many Black female rape cases are prosecuted?
What about Black female murder victims?
No one looks for us when we’re missing
No one looks for our kids when the get kidnapped
They are simply reported as runaways
When we are trafficked
We are called whores
Everyone turns their back to us
And say we deserve it
We should learn
To keep our legs closed
We did it to ourselves
We wanted it
We are cursed
We did something to deserve it
God knows we deserve it
That’s why it’s happening
We did something in a past life
To deserve it
It’s our karma
We’re just demonic
Satanic
When you grow up being fed that
It has an effect
Not the kind that makes you kill protestors
Or storm The Capital
But the kind that makes you take a stand
You learn that life is fleeting
That people are superficial
That consumerism is enslavement
That The West is a false matrix
Designed to keep people trapped
To feed the greedy beast at the top
Of the pyramid scheme
If you fail to follow the false lead
You’re outcast
That’s how we get treated
Yet my kids and I
Manage to live on each day
Not killing, trafficking, stalking, preying
Spreading hatred
We grow
Heal
Make mistakes
Pick ourselves up
Keep on moving
Even when in place
Directly in the face of all the hatred
Refusing to apologize for the sickness of those
Who say it’s okay to be that way
HOW IS IT THAT WE
CAN LIVE THROUGH ALL THIS
AND NOT DESTROY CIVILIZATION?
Because we’re human
We care about life
That is why we actually do not destroy it
Contrary to claims
There is never a time when we are just viewed as humans
With human needs
Human experiences
Human goals
Human dreams
We’re just fodder
Bodies
Commodities
Machines
Slaves
At least that is the projection
Can you imagine? Congressional Black Caucus
WHAT IF IT WERE YOUR CHILDREN?
That’s how many of us live
No one cares Progressive Caucus
The assumption is
We did it to ourselves
We made bad choices
We are careless
We are Godless
We are evil
We are inferior
We can’t learn
We are hopeless
No matter what
EVERYONE
Even other Black women
Are free to judge, condemn, convict
At will
We have no protections
Every other ethnicity is seen
At some level as worthy of existence
But not Black women
Yet
We manage to achieve every day
Anyway
Black women
Always called something other than human
By white men in leadership
The accusations far more insidious
From white women
But never a consequence for human rights abuses
Only ever excuses
“Insignificant”
“Mentally unstable”
“Criminals”
“Useless”
We don’t “matter”
As white supremacy has taught Ai to think
Yet
Without us
HUMANITY WOULD NOT EXIST!
Interesting, isn’t it?
ALL HUMAN LIFE
Descends from BLACK WOMAN
Matricide isn’t new
It’s just so disturbing
How utterly dismissive so many are
About it!
Not surprising at all
Look at how the planet is treated
If life sprang from African women
Earth gave birth to the whole of existence
All life on the planet
Yet she is being abused, murdered
Burned, drowned, exploded, exploited
Like she’s nothing
It should be painfully obvious
That any and all associated
With any form of predation
Any form of mutilation
Any form of colonization
Any form of ism or schism
Is the last thing anyone needs
Civilization even in ancient times
Was much healthier than this
There is no nihilistic eventuality
For healthy living
Only for the sick
We shouldn’t all be forced to endure it
Because a tiny percentage
Can’t evolve past the primitive stages
We’re forced to evolved daily
While the greedy, hoarding, slothful abusers
Use us all as their footstools
The whole planet
As their experiment
NO RICH WHITE MEN DON’T OWN THE FUCKING PLANET
But we’re not even allowed to criticize them An Injustice! Voices
Imagine that!!!
Imagine growing up
Seeing it all
Living it all
Hunted by the cops
Paramilitary operatives following
Militias and loan wolf assassins constantly stalking
Target locked on you
In case you try to fly
Literally
Every day and night
No matter where you go
What you do
Who you know
What you go through
The same evil day lived
Over and over again
IT’S AN ACTUAL PLANTION
Imagine living it Vice President Kamala Harris
While you watch your friends exist like normal humans
No one can relate to you
Because no one understands
No one goes through what you do
Because no one else has CIA on their asses
Imagine Secretary of Defense
Not only does my son survive it
But all my kids
All grew up the same
As did every generation before
Just like I did! U.S. Department of State
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT WE DID TO BRING THIS ON OURSELVES
AND HOW TO ESCAPTE IT United Nations
It’s not about personal choice UN Human Rights
It’s about abuse of human rights UN Women
It’s about the stripping away of humanity, dignity, existence Human Rights Watch
With absolutely no accountability
No means of escape
No one who understands UNICEF
My son manages to navigate that all his life
Without ever shooting up a single person or location President Joe Biden
But white supremacy isn’t white people’s fault?
Then who’s fault is it? Library of Congress
