Polar Opposites

Light-Skinned Legions

Advantage, set, match…

Hating pigment challenged hues
is cake walk, easy like breathing,
passing asses,
expecting white privilege,
embracing oppressor mannerisms,
claiming disenfranchisement until gifts are
bestowed, acting as if dues need not
be paid in full, owed…

Loathing niggas, pseudo-niggers,
admiring genetic aberrations like
children wishing to mirror parents,
neo-niggers, evolved point where
European Americans envy your whiteness,
but despise your likeness,
unnatural like Siamese twins
joined at the socio-economic hip,
resentment of self is cataclysmic,
implosion = explosion,
blackness eroding with inability to code switch,
beyond reproach,
beyond approach,
not beyond a rope…

...to be continued

Speechless....I can't even pick up a part to quote that I like the best because it ALL is a masterpiece.

Very intense, use of words borders on genious. Shooot. speechless.
