Little Rock Nine
Let’s workshop this poem about how one might suspect a real plot against blacks given that much of the rare opposition to rampant sex-drugs-violence in black culture comes from slam-poetry mumbo jumbo
scent of the day: The Black Knight, by Francesca Bianchi
Little Rock Nine One fears a real white-power plot when black resistance to all the black twerk-perc-murk snakes so often from slam-poet grifters of Kente-cloth qabala, ankh algebra explaining “why Glock 9s lure black minds: 9’s divine, femi-nine. 9 planets, 9 chakras, 9 months til alive!”
This poem critiques the modern commercialization of black resistance, contrasting the bravery of the Little Rock Nine with contemporary movements that indulge in performative mysticism, pseudoscience, and the glorification of violence. It questions whether such movements, often framed in abstract or spiritual terms, meaningfully advance the cause of black liberation.
