Yesterday two white men wearing MAGA hats stepped into a gas station in the center of the hood
This particular gas station is known for its gun play
Where people who look like me will shoot at me
And people who look like me have been murdered for nothing
Or less than.......
The hands who’ve slayed them have been brown
We’ll shoot and kill each other like it’s the wild Wild West
The only place that I feel safe is amongst my people
But I am also in imminent danger amongst them as well?
And no, I’m not saying kill the MAGA hat wearing fools who decided to purposely waltz into a store where they know that we’ll be
I’m saying that amongst the privilege that they have in their own communities
And In their own countries
We allow them to share that same privilege in our spaces
I feel jealous of them because they felt safe
Annoyed with us because we can’t move the same
Brown people can not make mistakes, we are not allowed the privileges that come with this country
We are not allowed to wear hoodies
Walk in their neighborhoods
Walk into their stores with bandanas or anything that looks “gang affiliated”
None of us are allowed these luxuries not men or women
None of us are allowed to be us not brown men or brown women
But two white men, looking for provocation decided to walk into the murder gas station capital
And smirk
And you said nothing.......
