The
Black Woman Who Is Often Called Out of Her Name
This
is not a theory.
A
scientific method is not needed.
This
is truth. These are facts.
A
black woman is the
most
disrespected
woman
on earth.
She
has been stripped from Negus
and
called Nigger after wanting
the
freedom of her crown again.
She
is called Monkey and Ape
as
if their genes were
developed
in her DNA.
She
has been Mammy to white children
that
she fed her breastmilk to when her
own
Black Diamonds and Pearls,
whom
you may call Pickaninny,
needed
her calcium and iron to
develop,
function mentally,
and
grow strong too.
She
has been Color Gal to
some
white men who slapped her down,
forced
her limbs still to steal her innocence
behind
the shack house on the planation,
as
if she deserved it and
it
was a penalty waiting for her.
Now,
her baby is Mulatto,
born
out of her father’s jungle fever.
Some
call her Light Bright.
Her
two older sisters are called
Tar
Baby and Midnight.
Their
aunts are Jezebels
because
they favor Sarah Baartman.
For
the love of their tight coils
and
being black, her friends
are
known as Nappy Heads.
After
you destroyed their
Free
Breakfast for Children Program,
you
executed their Kings
or
did you put a body under their names
when
they were never at the scene;
or
maybe you planted coke and maryjane on ‘em,
then
denied her college and job application
over
and over again, cheated her out of a raise
and
a few dollars on her last paycheck
just
so that you can call her a Welfare Queen.
But
she refused to stay there
or
be pushed there.
So,
she gained controlled of her
heritage
and black image.
She
fought against uncivilized
behavior
and rights, fractured liberties
and
fake justice for all;
demanded
respect,
equity
and equal opportunities
in
education and employment,
for
herself and her people.
After
appearing out of control
for
defending herself,
supporting
her own opinions,
she
is still called an angry black woman
or
an angry black bitch
when
she is just simply a
STRONG
BLACK WOMAN.
