We feel for the migrant Latinos families placed in Trump's visionary camp.
But for many African Americans that know their true history.

We have always been the least people in society.

It wasn't lost on the facts that racism played a part.

Hollywood, holds some responsibility for perpetrating it too.
And it been done by whites and yes, some Jews over the year.
Plus, some African-Americans too.

We know the back door entrance.
We know the discriminative water fountain.
We have been the maids, the butlers, and hosts of more.

Seen some of the greatest musicians cheated by scoundrel that became millionaires.
While many blacks suffered being broke.

But through all the "crap" we have faced as a race.
We the proudest example to this day.

No hiding behind mommy and daddy when trouble comes.
Told face your punishment which some can't handle honesty.

Well, the least respected people can confirm with "truth".
We are not going nowhere!
