It’s Unforgivable
Eugene Brown
Why do we participate willingly in our own destruction? I remember reading about how Native Africans participated in the enslavement of fellow natives in exchange for various materials such as rum and tobacco and this [Amanda Gorman’s Inauguration Poem] reminded me of that, and I hate it. It makes it hard to even trust the opportunity to unite, like “damn, will we ever?” Those officers came from our same plight. I expect the white man to do what he has done for ages and that’s not give a fuck, but when it comes to our own aligning with them, that shit is unforgivable.
