Ive titled this piece: Black American. - DM. You. Black American! You laugh at me and mock me because of my African heritage and culture. I am a booty scratcher, I dont own a decent pair of shoes, the food I eat isnt desirable because it doesnt consist of fried chicken and GMOs, but of raw vegetables and healthy spices. You exclude me and single me out because I speak a language that wasnt taught to me by my oppressors. You claim I live in straw huts and have no other option but to drink unfiltered water and rummage around in search of food. But who fed you those lies? When this God forsaken country comes to perish? To where will you flee? The south? I have some good news for you my Black American brother, for that is what you are; My brother! For which I am his keeper. While you are comported to believing you have no other option but to flee to the south? I will flee to the motherland. To the land that you were manipulated into believing was poor and barren, and fully depleted of its natural resources. To the land in which you believed held villages and towns that have neighborhoods constructed out of straw huts and poor irrigation systems. I will return back home to the motherland and I will welcome you with me. Because THIS land, the south, consists only of the blood, sweat, and tears that your ancestors have shed. And when you get there? You will see that you were wrong. You will see that it was your oppressors who have fed you lies and taught you HIS language because he deemed it to be more superior than yours. When you get there? You will see the fallacies created through the deceptive teachings of your oppressors. You will see that the mockery and laughter you once plagued me with was flawed. Just as is the preexisting knowledge you have about a continent that can fit several countries inside of it, including this one! You will finally witness its beauty! I will take you home with me my brother! To a land where you are welcome! You will see that we are kings and queens who reside in mansions bigger than that of American celebrities! You will see that the food you will consume consists of rich nutrients beneficial to your body and your temple and not the fried chicken ridden with Genetically Modified Organisms that you so dearly love and find delectable. You! Black American! I did not mock you, or laugh at you, or call you weak because you were captured and suppressed by those physically weaker than you. I do not shame you because of the foods you choose to taint your bodily vessel with. I do not laugh at you because you speak a language that is not of your origin. Why? Because you are my brother! We are one! And for that, you will not perish within the lands of this country. Instead? You will flourish within the lands where your ancestors once dwelled and lived as kings and queens! You! Black American! You are welcome to come back home with me. And when we arrive? I will inhale the rich atmosphere of the land, exhale with great relief, and unto you I will say welcome home.
