The government just called me
Actually the government told the police to call me
to be more specific
we all know how when referring to authorities
it is extremely important to be clear
detailed
and concise
because of how extremely uneducated they are
and also insecure
but anyways
as polite as the officer be
asked me,
encouraged me,
I guess threatened me,
If I really think it through
Officer says,
“Sir…Mr. Gregory.”
“Yes.” I say
“We…well the government of the United States of the America. Is willing to…wants to give you a certain amount of funding. Well, money. To stop being anti-racist.”
“Oh really?” I say
“Umm…yes. You see. We. Meaning the associates of the government…”
“The associates of white supremacy.”
I interjected
“Right. Yes. Well you know that. Well thats exactly it Mr. Gregory. We have been doing just fine without other people or too many of them know that. We the government and its associates…”
“Whiteness is a mental illness” I interrupted again.
“Yes. Yes. Okay. So yeah. We are offering you…roughly…25000 a month. To only do things…well…not anti-racist. Its part of the affirmative action project.”
I signed it right then and there
