INJUSTICE NEVER ENDS

 There have long been theories on how

Black people became slaves.  Some

Say that African Chiefs sold a few of their

People to seafarers from Europe for a sum.

Others say that seafarers came to Africa

And kidnapped people and took them away

In chains.  Either way--it was wrong.  No human

Is the property of another, no matter what many say.

What idiot came up with the idea that 

Black people were inferior to whites was

Definitely wrong.  When you take someone 

By force from their homeland, were they the cause?

There is naturally fear of the unknown, as well

As language barriers, and not knowing 

What white people considered "proper" behavior

In society.  They'd never even seen such a thing.

So, of course when the black people didn't answer

Them, or do as they told them, they decided

They were inferior to whites.  That was an INCORRECT

And STUPID assumption.  God says they're equally created.

The Africans were made to do hard manual labor.

They were given poor living conditions, just 

Enough food to keep up their strength, and could 

Not look a white person in the eye.  Very unjust.

If they didn't do the job correctly, or their "Boss" was in a foul mood--

They'd have to do it over and over and possibly get

A beating or severe whipping too.

President Lincoln wrote the "Emancipation Proclamation"

That set all the slaves free.  People who disagreed fought

Against it--that's how the Civil War came to be.

Further along the centuries--the slavery abolished,

They became housekeepers and manservants to the

Wealthy, but the Blacks were kept segregated from the whites.

Separate entrances, restrooms, drinking fountains, and schools and such.

People called them names that should not be allowed in any conversation.

If it was a Black man's word against a white man--the white man was truthful

and the Black man a liar, even if it was actually the other way around.  Prejudice. 

Some whites formed a group called the KKK and dressed in white hooded

Outfits and would terrorize Black families by burning crosses in their yards,

Or taking one of them out and lynching them and then laugh.  They even segregated

Them in the military.  The Tuskegee Airmen are the most known unit of Black

Soldiers.  Our country is integrated now--but there is still too much injustice.

Racism is everywhere.  BLACK LIVES MATTER.
