Race retraining.
We won't admit it.
Hard for many to accept it.

During segregation one group felt strictly in charged.
With the rules in placed to make others races at their will.

Then the ruling of the Supreme Court came.
Then we start the events of society change.
With one beginning to run away.

In present news, we see white officers blazing negative through the news.
Then we saw hostility of them in the years of past decades too.
And none wants to admit the honest truth.

White male officers DON'T know how to handle conflicts with black males.
Which soon must be addressed sooner or later.
Truth lies here.
Even if those with blinders wants to deny it.

How many minority officers?
Do you see involved in conflicts of abuse or killings?
Then again, it's easier to avoid truth than to deal with it.

The white male feels their strength of power slipping away.
And with a weapon on their side they react in simple situation to quick sometimes.

Which you see on the news many of times.
And the story is the same.

Black male shot by an officer.
Then the race game begins to emerge.
And we say, here we go away.

Yes, some are at fault.
Then some aren't at all.
But truth be told many white males are weak when they don't have a gun.
Truth be told many are aware of this.

Many realize this even when a kid.
Then give anyone a weapon of power they begin to get brave.
Thinking they Clint Eastwood or maybe John Wayne.

Still the story is the same.
