This is America: Black Cis Men Never Held Accountable for Selling Out Black Pain for White Pleasure by Hoodrat To Headwrap published on 2018-05-09T04:52:18Z WHITE CIS MEN HAVE COMMITTED MORE MASS SHOOTINGS IN THE US THAN ANY OTHER GROUP...but I'm sleep. Black people are murdered and it’s an idea for a storyboard for a rap music video without a trigger warning. Black people are not paying attention, while the world continues to kill us. We only pay attention when black cis men tell us to. Listen to them. Black cis men know what we need. And we should listen. They are geniuses. They win Pulitzers for their music without having to reckon with the misogynoir conveniently overlooked to get them there. And slavery was a choice. But, just hear him out. And he’s the King so he doesn’t give head. But he is not really Black, so it’s different. We spend hours talking through our pain from being re-traumatized and he “just wanted to make good music”. He could care less that people actually died. But but they are just destroying a Black man’s legacy. He got his money And will continue to And we will sit by and watch him dance On the tv Never at a rally And keep giving him money for the value of his meta distraction We get tired of calling him in He doesn’t listen Why talk. He’s talking. Just let him speak! Just a body on his way to fame To the white girl across the room We are just a body To be used At the cookout on 4th of July At his leisure Our pain is a joke And a moment, Not happening all the time. Join us for another episode of Hoodrat to Headwrap as we distract you from black cis men centering whiteness again (are you entertained?).
