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
