Reactions from 1/6/2021

You’re not a real boss if you can’t take a loss

If you really care about this country, accept your fate and help the transition

Instead you say the election was stolen from you, and your faithful white supremacists listen

I expected a retaliation, but this is a revolt from your cult

They storm the capitol building, yet they go unharmed?

If they were black or brown, they would’ve been swarmed and most likely killed

As they broke and entered, they look psychotically thrilled, 

With their white privilege serving as a shield 

This gave me chills, the sad and embarrassed kind

It’s never been clearer that white hate groups and police are one in the same

Do you think a cop would’ve taken a selfie with a black guy during a crime?

That man would either be arrested and do time or would be staring at the barrel of a nine

On a day where Georgia stepped up and flipped the senate

This mob dubbed “protesters” showed there’s no limit to White Privilege

I’m embarrassed to be white today, disturbed by unvalidated violence that may never fully die

They may hide in plain sight eventually, but how are people of color supposed to ignore them mentally?

Hate passed down through generations giving them some sick sensation

The same sensation that their grandpappy's felt on their plantations

It’s still the same nation that enforced segregation 

You would think people would evolve over time and get better like wine

I used to think things would change in due time

Sadly today proved that things aren’t fine and that hate will always course through human kind
