As I look at this picture, I can only think of a poem called Warning by Langston Hughes.
Negroes, sweet and docile, meek humble and kind: Beware the day they change their minds. Winds in the cotton fields, Gentle breeze beware the hour it uproots trees.
This poem speaks volumes, as we continue to be the lower caste race in this country. We are the race that's steadily ignored when it comes to the issues and problems that are relevant to the Black community. Many warnings from Black people have been ignored and taken lightly by government and white Amerikkka in general.
Akmed Lorence, a Vietnam veteran in the movie “No Vietnamese ever called me Nigger” he and other Black vets issued warnings that have all been ignored as if irrelevant.
No major strides have been made by any politrickcian, or administration to make a significant change in the Black communities throughout this country. All we’ve had are false promises from lying white Amerikkka. While every other race that's considered an expert on our affairs that have never spent a day in our shoes, are now speaking for the Black majority in this country, they are now speaking against reparations for the Black communities.
Again, Langston Hughes and countless others have given the government, their systems of racism, and white Amerikkka WARNINGS before, as people do now, and this government will continue to ignore them and sweep their problems under the rug while smiling in their face and lying through their teeth.
As I continue to read about and see how Black people are still being murdered in the street by those that are sworn to protect and serve, and any other white supremacist that sees fit to take the law in their own hand and take a Black life this country wants to chant matter so much: I can only think of one of the saying from another Black Vietnamese vet.
