The minority will always be painted ugly by hoarded privilege. So they can hide their greed and ignorance in their perfect image. The American reality that discriminates and incarcerates, will use our anger as bait. We become their tools to start fires and spark violence, so they can asserts their forces and keep us silenced. We think the chaos now is giving us an American voice, But choosing to ignore justice for us has always been their choice. They stole this land with unfair fights, They made the constitution and cite their rights, But they won’t share any of it if you’re not white.

Color of America

I’ve had too many conversations regarding prejudice and white privilege with racist.
