Living where we live, you have to unite for justice and security. This town is the most racist and evil place in this country besides the White House. I've watched with my own eyes a black man being pulled down the street by the back of a truck while the whites in the truck chant, " White Power ! ". I hated this town with a passion.
May's POV
Josiah (President of the New Black Panther Party) : May, Can you please tell Jose why we are dressed up again. God, I swear he doesn't understand shit.
May: Jose, we are dressed up to go see the state representative. We are looking our best to gain their attention and respect. Got it? (Looks at him with an annoyed face)
Jose: Ohhh! But you know they still aren't going to want to talk some college students about crime.
May: (stares at him)... Jose, how could they possibly tell that we are JUST college students? Just fix your tie and get on the bus.
(Keisha walks up to May)
Keisha: May you look nice. I didn't know natural hair could curl so well.
May: "So well"? It took me over an hour and a half to just loosen the curls. Then I had to go back with a curling wand. (Grabs Keisha's shoulders and makes eye twitch) NEVER AGAIN!
Keisha: (laughs) You are too silly! I saw Josiah looking at you. You might have a chance since his girlfriend isn't coming on the trip.
May: (tilts head to the side and thinks for a second)... No Keisha, I'm not that girl. He's just my best friend and that's all we will ever be. (Whispers) But doesn't he look amazing in that suit though... I do like him. I mean he's everything I ever wanted, but he doesn't love me. (Frowns a little)
Keisha: If he didn't, why did he make you Vice President of the NBPP (New Black Panther Party)?
May: Because I'm qualified and I know my stuff. His girlfriend didn't know 1 Malcolm X quote. (Shakes her head) Not even one!?
Josiah: LETS GO PEOPLE! WE GOT A LONG RIDE! May can you sit up front with me, I need to run some things by you.
Keisha: ( Raises her eyebrows and walks to bus ) mhm...
May: ( Looks at her and laughs ) Get on the damn bus.
- A Week Later - ( At the Local Poem Bar: a place where anyone can read their poems and drink )
May: This Poem is called
Who Do You Love?
White Teacher,
Oh how you teach me math,
Oh how you teach me words,
Oh how you teach me my past,
My past ?
George Washington: hero of the free land,
Abraham Lincoln: freer of the slaves,
Martin Luther King Jr. : uhh, I have a dream?
White Presidents,
Oh how you protect us,
Oh how you govern us,
How you plunder other lands and kill endlessly for our demands,
How you hide truths and sell our tax money by propaganda,
White Jesus,
Oh how you save us from our sins,
Oh how you give us life,
Oh how you are always there for us,
Black me,
Oh how I depend on my white teachers for knowledge,
Oh how I depend on my white president for security,
Oh how I depend on white Jesus for my afterlife...
Who do you love?
(The crowd snaps as she walks off the stage, Josiah walks up to May)
Josiah: You know I never thought of it like that. That's the source of white supremacy, well a good portion.
May: Yeah, makes it seem like white people are godly and/or righteous. (Makes gag face)
Josiah: (laughs)... Is that Dr. Dre!?
And that's the moment when my whole life changed...
