Amazingto say the least
How history repeats itselfespecially if it's a history that never ended
The backlash that MLK spoke of
In WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE
is very much still in effect
"Racism is over"
some like to say
"We have a Black president so there is no more racism in Amerikka"
right
After slavery
we had Black senators and congressmen throughout the south
and then came the backlashlynchings
burnings
murders
rapes
All in the name of keeping Niggers
oh sorry,
I can't say Nigger anymore
The NAACP got rid of the word
All in the name of keeping N-words in their place
Troy Davis
was an innocent man
but they had to make him an example
We have a Black president
N-words are getting too uppity
The Democratic party abandoned the ship
and left a Black man at the wheel
Justice must be served
I know
Let's execute an innocent Black man
that everybody knows is innocent
that all evidence will say he's innocent
it will be appealed to the highest court in the land
and turned back
without a sound
We will kill an innocent man
So then they will fear us again
Knowing that if it happened to him
it can happen to the rest of them
at anytime
If Obama's smart
He'll stay out of Georgia
You know they're after him next
