Thank God I’m Black!


Radical racist righteousness

alt-right, alternate universe

ctrl-alt-delete the whole thing

restart.

We’re not computers, no matter what they say.

have you listened to yourself?

have you heard the things

coming from your mouth

as if they are directed towards you,

rather than away from you!

The arrogance and ego coat like caramel syrup,

The privilege, oh the privilege, listen to me tell it.

I’ll have a vente, grande, capa, mocha, half-caff, vegan, chino, with caramel.

Hold the vente, grande, capa, mocha, half-caff, vegan, chino.

Just a cup full of caramel.

People’s pride, so full, sticky, sickly, sweet,

cloying and otherwise…

what’s not great about a cup of caramel?

Especially if you’re making someone else drink it.

Thank God I’m White

because my goodness overflows

and is so sweet

like a cup of caramel.

For you.
