It's in the roots.

If you want new fruit,

You have to destroy the tree and start looking for fresh soil.

As long as this place is called America, shit is gonna be American.

Some of y'all in that same breath are setting up your phone and hitting record to criticize and try to villainize black people.

Because even in your moment of activism, you can't hide your racism.

Black people do not criticize your people.

This shit has been affecting us for far too long for you to turn your criticism to people that look like you.

When the silence and complicit behavior of all these other motherfuckers have been present and persistent, and I don't want to talk about a few.

I'm talking about the majority, the overwhelming majority of people from other groups have been silent and complicit in the brutality

caused by this American government and police to black bodies and black people as a whole.

I understand what the rainbow coalition is.

I don't see no young Lords or no young Patriots.

Have you, like I said, they're all conformed.

I don't want to talk about what they did 50 years ago when presently it's not being done.

And a lot of the world didn't do it until George Floyd was publicly executed and strangled by Derek Chauvin for nine minutes on camera.

The whole world woke up to that.

You couldn't ignore it.

But how about the countless other names that I just named?

How about the 150 black Americans that were unarmed and killed by the police in the last 10 years?
