"You are black"

in poetry •  7 years ago  (edited)

Funny how this script could be changed. In South Africa "whites" are referred to at "Bo'er's." The new government are rumored to try and seize land owned by only white farmers and redistribute it to blacks.
In Alaska, when I was a kid, my dad worked in a logging camp which was predominately native Alaskan (Inuit). Trips to town for him and the rest of my family were as in-frequent as possible. Only when re-supply was absolutely necessary. Why? Because angry natives would hurl rocks/feces etc at us simply for being white on "their" land.
As i white man, it's true i haven't encountered racism but a handful of times and know the hurt and frustration you must feel.
