You think we don't know but we do

This...
I had a hard time writing this. Really hard time. A moment of deep truth.
Are you "you"? Are you "we"?
You think we don’t know but we do
You think we don’t know that you are conditioned to believe you’re superior to black people
We know. It’s in your DNA
You think we don’t know that you are fearful of unleashed, unsuppressed, free Black people
We know. It’s in your DNA
You think we don’t know that Black people are the root of your existence in America
Without us you wouldn't have and won't survive
We know. It’s in your DNA
We are you
We are your money which is everything to you
We made you wealthy
We are the foundation of your riches
You purchased us just as you purchased your land and used us as equity
We surveyed your land
We plowed your fields
We planted your crops
We picked your cotton
We prepared your food
We nourished your souls
We fed your children
We sexually satiated your spouses
We bore your children
You don’t think we know but we do
You don’t think we know that you need us to entertain you
We do. It’s in your DNA
You don’t think we know that we provide the barometer for what is culturally popular.
You don’t think we know that we make you feel comfortable
Everything we do has been designed to make you feel comfortable
You designed it that way and we know that
We built your houses
We made your furniture
