Sweet Black Juice

Sweet Black Juice

J.Stankin

 

I stopped in deep disgust looking at a post wondering

Who would make something like this…

A white

It read

“Who needs black girls anymore?”

Can you make this question any more fine?

Everytime I get on social media

It feels like a waste of my precious pretty girl time

Coming from a strong black QUEEN

To question our existence;

What. The. ***… do you mean?  

 

Ya mama should have taught you

That everything you do was invented by

My mama and Gran

Literally every fashion trend

Worried about us;

They should have given you the secrets on how to keep a man

Without losing your self

or being more than submissive

I rather hold my crown

Then to give my all to a man

who gone continuously put me down

 

Don’t run to the black nurse when ya eyes all blackened

She may tell you to go home and scrap the black off

Only way yall got a spot

Cause when the king is wrong we don't celebrate

We make that jack off

 

You really wanna question God’s most Profound piece of art

Open ya book

Figure out how we were brought up and raised,

Why do they refer to us as ART

You may find out what the purpose was...

for your skin color to even start.

 

New flash!

We were here first

You are a copy that’s been copied numerous of times

So please be gone

With the “Who need’s black girls” lines

Put my thoughts on paper

And I’m gonna win everytime

 

Our Men

Need our mindset to strategize against this villainous world

Our Sons

Need us to show them unconditional love; nobody else gone do it

Our daughters

Need us to set the standard for women like you

who try to eliminate her whole purpose for being

Our People

Need us to fight because the BLACK WOMAN

is the warrior that this entire sphere needs

 

Honestly, who do you know who..

Fights like us!

Cooks like us!

Speaks like us!

Entertains like us!

Educates like us!

And the most important

Loves like us!

 

Think again before you fix your thinlips

to even twitch and ask me

WHY AM I HERE…
