If we're not white to them
And we're not non-white to you
Then where do we stand?
Why is it that
We don't receive the privilege of one group
Yet aren't allowed in the other?
Why do we have to float in limbo?
Without the luxury of at least
Knowing where we belong?
Seen completely differently by two different groups?
The scum beneath their nails
Or part of your oppressor
One who also oppressed us?
Diaspora blues
Have followed us all this way
All these years
