Every time i have a nightmare of getting attacked or broke in,the man is always…. white.
He’s got long hair, a beard, and he is too big for me to possibly fight.
And it’s funny cause white privilege tells you to think their black,
but 70% of violent crimes are white males and that’s a fact.
And 90% of pedophiles are white male Christians that have a collage degree,
but most the faces portrayed are colorful, you know the ones seen on tv.
The media creates fiction by not depicting true facts,
thus perpetuating racism and following oppressive tracks.
And the issue runs so very deep,
but another thought, why does the only white man on the bus have to sit in my seat?
It’s cause I look white to him and I’m sure he never gave it a thought,
but how easy would it be to pick a different spot?
But back to my dream of the vicious white male,
stemming from memories of teenage trauma tales.
The ones about the pale man who hit my mother,
the rednecks that cornered, harassed, and beat up the only black brother.
Simply because his color,
so he switched schools and went to another.
So facts support my dream elements,
that my stereotypes are built from my life’s experience.
Perspective can shape you profound,
but dreams will still make you check your locks and jump at every sound.
