White America
White America has a new face.
It carries blue eyes,
pale skin,
slightly bolding blond hair,
and hold a refused admitted resistance to "minorities"
Dropping value depreciates with increased melanin,
as if borders separate intellect.
We are battling our significantes.
Fighting to prove statistics are based on the percentage of a whole, and the amount of that whole does matter so of course the "minority" will hold the highest crime rate.
Reproving the necessity we hold to the country.
Treated as if this empire was White America's to begin with.
Taken from what history has renamed Redskins.
As if the thefts wasn't enough, with the roles flipped, this time you took from homes.
Rooted by dark skin.
Planted plantation, by plantation,
Your White America derived from pure African and Native blood
White America speaks proudly at press conferences.
Speaks openly in interviews,
spits racists, sexist, not factual insults at presidential debates.
"They bring guns, they bring crime, they are rapist,...and I guess some are good"
Over looking the unwanted, low-end, under paid jobs used to employ the "Univision" manufactures of your clothing brand.
This Great Wall you want to build should wrap around you.
Forcing you to breath in your own insulting foolishness.
the only accent that should be mocked is the voice of your campaign.
A joke make our of this country.
A mockery of what my ancestors built,
of what her ancestors built, of what our ancestors built.
White America loves to give out "Holidays"
to "Celebrate our overcomes and to acknowledge our past."
While simultaneously reminding us of your capabilities.
You see this Minority of America
has carried the Majority of America.
Our backs are bruised and blistered,
but we've adjusted to the pressure.
I guess that's why they say you will never find someone who fights harder than a latino.
I guess that's why they say no one will have your back like a black woman.
I guess that's why it is written that the Israelites are the Children of God.
I guess that's why there are facts that prove we all rooted from Africa
Yet our contributions are spat on.
We are still fighting for our equality.
You say "Oh race does not matter"
Then why is it a question on my scholarship application?
What do our origins have anything to do with our work ethics?
You really want to prove I'm wrong?
Then instead of putting "Prefer not to answer"
take the whole question off.
Chill with your manipulated facts of
"Which race has the highest test scores?"
"Who has the lowest drop out rate?"
"Which has the highest unemployment rate?"
I mean struggle is struggle.
The skin it's rapped around as nothing to do with its significance.
No purpose in the issue.
No relevance to a growling stomach
Because at the end of the day whether you go to Whole Foods
Trader Joe's
or G Mama's kitchen
we all still have to eat.

Bold indeed. I would say the Spanish with the encomienda system introduced value via skin color - Penninsulares, Creoles, Meztizos, Mulattoes (called bi-racial today) Native People, Africans. It was a way of identfying class by color. As a NYC teacher I use to watch my Dominican students compare skin color to each other as to who was lighter. Sammy Sosa even bleached his skin sadly. Regarding modern day slavery (www.iabolish.org) and genocide in Sudan, the media was more interested in horses passing out in Central Park or people protesting against experimentation on rats....
