Black,
Beautiful
Loving
Artistic
Colored
Kings and Queens
And we wonder why the whites are so mean, the killings segregation, the pain and the pressure, are we really gonna sit back and let this stress us?
Everyday I wake up and I wonder why who could consume so much hate inside.......for our kind?
AND YET WE SIT BACK AND LET TIME FLY.
recycled HATE.
Mothers crying "they took my baby away"
Korryn Gaines
Mike Brown
Trayvon Martin
Sandra Bland
I swear it's time for our people to take a stand.
Police abusing their authority ....doing their job, "aiming for the minority"
DON'T SHOOT!!!!
Don't rob me of my life. It's fucked up how I gotta think twice before speaking.
Bullets in my soul got my mind on the deep end
GOT MY MIND ON THE DEEP END

Great write
WELCOME JESSICA ~ Thanks for your first poem. Nicely spaced structure to emphasise the subject Racial Tension in the USA. I like CHICAGO and it impresses that both Hillary an Michelle are Chicago Girls. Both tough and both standing against racial discrimination.. Trump seems just the opposite. We had a talk in Memphis from one of MLK's Friends and he said there would never be reconciliation between Whites (like the KKK) and the Afro-Americans. The tension is historical because even the First Lady's ancestors were slaves and oppressed. A lot of right wing Whites have a negative attitude to Afro-Americans. The also have a low opinion of Native Americans and Hispanics. For some reason (perhaps economic) Asians (Indians ~ Chinese ~ Japanese etc) have a more positive profile. Obama has done what he can to secure a level playing field but Trump just stirs up hatred. BLACK is BEAUTIFUL you have just got hold your heads high ! We do have some racial and religious tension in the UK but much less than in the USA. Thanks for sharing ~ thinking of you and praying for you ! BRIAN
