White Privilege
It's easy to ignore systemic racism and all of its woes It's easy to ignore a rigged court system everybody knows It's easy to ignore white on black violence
because it's so ingrained
Into our media, schools and is never really explained I find it hard to see the truth through the smoke and the lies When a white cop kills a black kid and then denies
Having any murderous tendencies or KKK ties
I find it easy to ignore because of all the glass mirrors The hopes and dreams of people,
and especially their fears
I have white privilege,
that much is crystal clear
Another black man was killed while I wrote this poem None of you even shed a tear
