Let's workshop this poem about some of the so-called progressive cities whose attitudes and policies are openly antiblack even as they masquerade as pro-black
As More Businesses Pull Out
Might black thugs
in “progressive” cities
soon be able to rape
white girls with impunity,
the victims themselves—
“scared of what
neck-kneeling cops will do”—
refusing to report
“actions excused, though,
by white supremacy”
(even arguing
“Payback often hurts”)?
“We need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”—Kafka (against the safe-space cancel culture pushed by anti-art bullies, left and right).
Fuck…
