Do the math

Here's an equation for those of the darker persuasion. Arithmetic for your a$$. The square root of evil, carry the one. Pale pilgrims go into you five times, 9 months later out comes a melaninated version of you. Shoot the gift in snow bunnies, 9 months later out comes beige jungle bunnies, a different shade of cool. Elementary school, long hand math with ink spots in the gene pool. Black power burned by gun powder. Counting on fingers and toes, black balled, sweaty black balls slapping fair haired nightmares. Petrified of self germinating seed, and sturdy, fertile wombs. Count the cost of slave ships rawhide whips, chains and shackles.  The hardware of cold calculation. Do the math....
