Is anyone really Black or White?

As a day is split into morn and night?

What of the mixed races?

Shalt they be properly categorized

As Whack or Blight?

Shalt we aver to animals the renowned plight?

If you are White
Will you be contrite

if not so descriptively disfigured?

The predator in the history books is always Tiggered

Triggered

Look at your skin?

Does it spin splashy with tinged chagrin

into the exact definitive daily news hues
As social theory dominated racecraft rigor?

Or is it all just a human construct
Ala James Baldwin’s

I am not your black nigger!

A mental broken spigot

The eugenic Right is white is might

The American racist’s elixir

Devised to keep citizen’s ignorant

With a preternatural anti-colorful slave-master mentality

Superiority!

Carried aloft via cruel unnatural inhumane winds

With a dedicated societal economic social and political vigor
