Whites are entitled to
An occasional bad day
While people of color
Are executed or locked away
Said to be misunderstood
While people of color
Are just no good

Clearly there’s a great
Big dichotomy
Between white folks
And people like me
See that’s plain enough
For us all to see
But my question is
Does there have to be?

Too many whites want
Hegemony
Over people of color
And that shouldn’t be
If we truly are all
Born from a mother
What makes one
Better than the other?

Whites are few
People of color are many
Whites explored the world
And didn’t find any
People of their same
Color or hew
Which made them afraid
Of the day that we knew
