is it my white male entitlement

    being forty years old

               having a degree in sociology

                               and anthropology



is it a lifetime of observations

           twenty-five years of poetry

                  constantly seeking new information

                           critically thinking



I am not saying I know better

or

that I can live the black or female

experience



I can say with full confidence

***** and ******

only serve to hold you down ~



when any people identify with a derogatory term
the mental anguish brings self-loathing
it is the backbone of the racist and sexist system
that you will willingly keep yourself
less ~



IT’S ABOUT POWER

OWNERSHIP

HOW DARE YOU WHITE MAN!!!






at the end of the day

       I can’t really help

                 being tired of bitten hands

                              I don’t really care to try



this is just some friendly advice

from the devil

from the root of your suffering

from a white man

who thinks he knows /
