Anybody - talking smack - know what it means to walk as a black man / woman in America?  I hear all of this philosophizing about it from the stale pasties.  And comparing lives long past.  If we're going there - back there - to, from whence we came...  Let's go.

Realize that as a black citizen - you're likely mixed with all of the colors of the rainbow (as we all are) -- but even as a black person with multiple degrees - much less Ivy League -  when you walk up on someone - what do they see?  FITB.

Are we f'in kidding?

If this is a pissing match - must we really go through the f'in history?!?

Be brought over in chains - then talk to me...

In the bottoms of many ships - millions laying like cargo - for months and months and months - bleeding, shitting, puking and dying all over one another - crossing the Atlantic - if you survive the Middle Passage - then talk to me....

Be auctioned like cattle - after being snatched from your home - separated from your family - deprived of the ability to communicate with your brethren - deprived of any glimmer of your language, culture, religion - then talk to me... 

Be treated like chattel - or like anything other than human - then talk to me...

Be legally prohibited from having a family, barred from being connected to anything other than your chains - then talk to me...

Be beaten bloody daily - to within an inch of your life - or past that inch - times millions - then talk to me...

Build a nation on your back and that of your unborn children -- only to be slighted and told you're not worthy -- time after time after time - then talk to me...

Please -  talk to me about how hard it has been.  On that field - matches we will we win.  He's got the diaspora of struggle in his DNA. 

Fuck you and all of your misguided, delusional concepts of what it means to be and succeed as a person of color - without a whine to be heard anywhere.

Fuck you - royally.

And if you want to understand what the real world is like - I'll gladly meet with you.  The people herein desrcibed were not picked because of their gender - but selected for a special place in hell because of their color.

I love this country because it was built on our backs - and that's what makes it worthy...
