Thank you for saving us from us. Thank you for allowing us on the bus, We were so grateful to give up our seat. Thank you for feeding us—we graciously eat. Thank you for teaching us to be complacent. Segregated yet mixed, how’d we get so adjacent? Thank you for teaching us to endure and die. Who taught you how to lie? While white supremacists raped us, Church dresses draped us. And you have the nerve to mock and belittle? Wondering how you get X out of Little? Denying veterans G.I. Bills they deserved, Mocking the bravery of black souls who served.
