Deception is only ones perception of it

Spoiled milk is still white

(This was actually an
assignment)

---------
As a child you are told to watch out for the white men and never look a white woman in the eyes.
That would make it seem as though you were equal to them. As if you could ever envision yourself in a place of superiority when there are little black Boys and girls being persecuted in the towns white folks lived.

They were spoken to as though they were the last jug of milk on the shelf a couples days from their expiration date.
Being ridiculed and chastised. Everyone around you speaks in some sort of encrypted code. You have to decipher.

We speak of morals but we chose to isolate a population that was beaten and raped. Stripped of their titles as citizens and told they don't belong in our states. We hold the status as a nation of diversity but we hold black lives to a standard of negligence and incompetence. Complying with the notion that our actions were pure.

Are our views so different that we cannot allow another man to stand by our side and nip at the very fabric of our universe with a simple question.

Let us stand and not have to fear the prejudices stares casted upon one another . We are brothers. Let us be free from the chains that once held a black man and treated him as
livestock . Because a woman once stood her ground on a bus and sat as if she was immobilized .

I once had a thought that you can shoot me with your words and cut me with your eyes but still I rise. Completely broken and paralyzed.
