DESPITE WHAT textbooks may tell you, slavery wasn't that long ago. In fact, it was yesterday. When a black man tearfully rose his palms and begged for innocence at the sight of a blue badge.
It is today. When black men collapse onto one knee at the glorious wave of a flag and patriotic sound of an anthem to which they owe their misery to.
It will be tomorrow. When some brown-eyed boy won't have to ask their mother why they can't wear hoodies in the chilly night air. A part of him will know.
As long as the black man must demonstrate his harmlessness to a massa with a lighter complexion, slavery will not end. It will live within the societal control of the black race as was once the economic control of the imported slaves.
The difference between a whip and a gun is nothing if the same person wields both.
