If I was Black


IF I WAS BLACK
Harriet Tubman

If I was Black then I would be upset at White people
If I was Black I would see White people as Slave Masters 
and the descendants of Slave Masters 
but that's silly
because White people told me not to generalise
White people taught me a lot of things in school
If I was Black then I would be in Prison
or in hiding or in Church.
If I was Black I would be a Recluse
Black lives matter but only to Black people
who haven't turned the hate on themselves.
or to White people called Wilberforce
If I was Black I would not trust the Police
or the Army or the Government.
If I was Black....
but maybe that's just me.
