Ask, any minority?
If whites had to walk in your shoes.
If they could handle it?
And most likely, many would agree they couldn't.

They too sensitive to truth.
When you point out what you been through?

If restrictions was placed on level of whites that could vote?
Instantly you have a political revoke.
If banned from attending certain universities too.
Oh, they think it was something obviously crude.

If assigned to enter through back doors of theaters and more.
Just like us, they would ask what for?
If told, like we been told before.
We, don't serve your kind.

Instantly, they would lose their minds.

If certain hostile white males were hanged from a tree.
And photos snapped with smiling faces within the photo.
They cry about all types of injustice.
Similar to what they do now?
And they still have more rights.
They couldn't handle it.
Not society reversal.

If innocent men was tossed injustice into prisons by judges and lawyers.
If daughters was ***** and blind eyes turned to the crime.
They couldn't handle it.

If rules that makes no sense concerning bus riders being assigned to the back of the bus.
Just like Rosa Parks, a woman would stand up.
They stronger.

Women , always been.

If all the wrongs concerning white oppression was turned back upon them.
They couldn't handle it.

If they was the slaves upon that ol' plantations.
They find ways to apologizes.
For , they went and retrieved us.

Something, many still can't comprehend or face with the truth.
We don't edit down books to look good.
We address truth like they truly should.
