Satan
This rape-mixed race
This "Negro"
Taught of his native Africa
Black savages,
Swinging like monkeys
This "Negro"
Accepted this
Make him accept
Obey and worship
People on earth taught
Religion
God looked like
One of their own
"This Negro"
Injected
To worship pale skin and blue eye,
Blond hair
Alien God
The slavemaster
Taught the "Negro"
Black was a
Curse.
Taught "Hate everything black"
Himself.
Admired, respected, brainwashed.
Complexion, more white pollution
White man brainwashed
This "Negro"
Turn the other cheek.
Grin, Scrape, bow,
Be humble.
Dished out.
Devilish white man.
Enjoyed his heaven.
My first reaction
Instinct of the ghetto
Criminal wolf instinct
Jungle streets
Me.
Scoffed at and rejected.
Understand the truth
I have since learned
By the sinner.

This was my origional blackout poem I did from one of my favorite excerpts in my favorite book, The Autobiography of Malcolm X. For me, it represents the amount of pain and suffering my community has had to endure for hundreds of years, and continue to deal with today. The amount of internalized racism I along with every person of color living in the United States has is devastating. I want to make a point and an impact on other communities, to help many realize that racial discrimination is still a problem today, in the 21st century.
