Keep that racism talk in the house…

Keep that racism talk in the house…
You know the sayin goes, “what goes
In the house, stays in the house.”
We don’t need death threats comin
At my door nor textin to my phone….

Hell no, don’t put shit on social media
Either…I don’t wanna hear you talkin about
Somebody on a post….do you understand?

We might lose somethin or a friend
so please be quiet…talk about somethin
Else, change the subject….we’re not goin
To talk about racism outside our house…

We were taught to see no color…
We were taught about Martin Luther King Jr.
did we?

You can ask questions among your loved ones
But not your friends….

I don’t wanna talk about racism, ok?
I don’t wanna hear it…
Keep it to yourself….
Don’t hurt white people feelings…

Keep that racism talk in a livin room…
Ok?
Keep it in this house….

Don’t speak the truth…
Let me ignore the facts
There’s no reason to teach our babies
About the system…ain’t no such thing…

Let’s keep it here, let it linger on our tongues
And hold our serious conversations back into
The pits of our stomachs…

Just lie, and lie and lie
There’s no such thing as racism…..
Why are you talkin about this difficult topic, anyway?
You answer we’re at war….

And is that why we have this racism talk?
I rather have my children to be cowards instead
Naive cowards who doesn’t do the right thing.…
It’s in the past, long time ago….

We don’t talk racism outside the house…
Not even inside…I don’t wanna listen to a word
Of it…

Let my family be ignorant…be so colorblind and confused
Not even a cop incident, not a white woman microaggression
No fuckin no did we have Obama already? Ok then, racism is
Over…why are you bringin it up?
Tell me why are you bringin racism to my house?

This is my colorblind zone, my I don’t see color home…
Don’t bring no goddamn hate on my doorstep…
Do you hear? We talk about love, love around here
Not racism, not hate….
~told by a coon who thinks racism doesn’t exist at all…
