    Juneteenth and a side of White Supremacy

    Juneteenth is not your come up. From sundown towns to sun up, y’all always trying to one up. Can’t converse about reparations but got time for Fake celebrations, less than admirable adorations to make sure we keep on cutting y’all’s check. Corporations selling ICE CREAM and white napkins to wipe off the taste of our freedom. The LIES SCREAM from failed attempts to pretend you give a shit. Come off of it. You don’t know the history. For whites and even blacks, it’s still a mystery. Cause we programmed too. Defeating the point and not listening, you mind as well still have us in chains. You mind as well keep thangs the same. How is a holiday for the still enslaved a day off for the descendants of enslavers. How is we still going to church looking for a blond haired blue eyed man we saved from extinction to save us? How can the mighty 1 still cash in on the many. Land of milk and honey my ass, seems like the land of fucking over plenty. Folk sitting home benefiting from our ongoing toil. I say we reflect and rebuild today and y’all start tilling your own soil. You aerate these old ways and expand your frame of thought. It’s your turn, You correct the inequities and all the hate it’s brought. We getting gunned down in grocery stores and by corner boys from the crack y’all delivered and you think your know a sliver of our struggle. Ain’t no 1865, we still fighting to stay alive….ain’t no plan in place so ain’t no need. We so called celebrating yet still ain’t free. WE ARE NOT YOUR COME UP! Juneteenth ain’t for you, it’s for me!
