Are We Superior Yet?

Are we superior yet?

The racists all say that

White people are the master race.

Yet, I haven't met a racist

Who will show their fucking face.

/

You hide behind masks

And carry flags across D.C....

Terrified that your bosses will find out

Your Nazi ideologies.

/

I am a white woman

Protected by white privilege.

I've had to deconstruct for years

And learn the truth about Black suffrage.

/

I didn't learn about slaves in 4th grade,

We just learned about the tobacco and cotton trade.

Skipping over the gruesome parts

About human beings bound in chains.

/

I went to a Christian school,

That taught us rock music was evil.

They taught us apartheid was a good thing,

And that we should be separate but equal.

/

My father punished me

For calling out his racist statements.

I wasn't supposed to judge,

But apparently he could say whatever he wanted.

/

He criticizes Black Lives Matter,

And says they go too far.

Yet, he has nothing to say,

When Black babies are shot in cars.

/

It must be so nice

To see the world through a narrow lens.

The truth is often too much for some,

So they rather play pretend.

/

They'll believe the Confederate Flag is a symbol of freedom,

But condemn a Pride flag as the work of demons.

It must so crowded in your head,

All of these imaginary grievances.

/

You said you voted for Trump for economic reasons,

Forgetting that the fucker bankrupted three casinos.

Now you're begging for forgiveness,

Like he hasn't always been a psycho.

/

You have so much to say about athletes kneeling

For an archaic anthem written during the Antebellum.

You just want these Black athletes to perform,

And not talk about the people that cops are killing.

/

Black people are still being lynched...

Hispanic people are scared for their lives.

The Middle East is being bombed,

Because a fucking pedophile wants to hide his lies.

/

The Doomsday Clock is less than a second to midnight...

The Fascism Clock is already past 12.

They keep saying, "It won't ever happen here,"

While the news stations cover up our descent into hell.

/

It's been here for more than 400 years.

It just wasn't happening to you.

Black women have already been turned into sex slaves--

It's just getting noticed now because it's white women, too.

/

Transwomen are being sent to men's prisons,

For the very reason you don't want to imagine.

Teenage girls in detention camps are turning up pregnant,

And women and children are all being assaulted.

/

Oh, you don't want to hear about that?

Tough fucking shit, I'm gonna scream it louder!

You wouldn't notice a mass grave filling it up beside you,

Because propaganda convinced you it's a garden of flowers!

/

The worst of the worst is happening,

And you're choosing to believe in alternative truths.

You aren't going to be ready at all,

When the boots start stomping on you.
