@Femi Ricky but not till anybody else. And self hate is taught just line self love. White people hate everybody not white. Wanting to be as pure as tyre title but dirtier than the color of my skin. Before you races were still just for sport. After the whole world is suffering. And what you call it when a white person kills a family member, best friend, stranger who looks like them? Same thing you say about us you do far worse than us. Only good at deception and lies. Everything good is always some thing bad and anything bad is always something good. Triggered were you. Even without the gun it's easy to pull when you see the truth you hate to ok at. I'm not to blame say the murder still holding the gun. Getting mad over facts where they do that at? AMERICA. I don't blame you. If my leaders and family and friends were savages if be mad too.

"When a black man walks he is always hunted." Preach sista.

I love the line "they are the calm and the storm"

Some of the comments saddened me as I realized we distrust each other. My Ancestral memory will always lead me to love a Black Man. Black Men, please remember we are in this fight together. We must heal together. We love you. If anyone denies your greatness then they are not of your tribe. Keep your heads up. It's all love. We are love.

@Ann Yes Black woman, I sense the pain but there are a lot of lost souls out there (Black Men and women alike). I have met some great Black men who still love Black women. I have met black women who throw their hurts on Black men too. "Hurt people, hurt people." It is time for healing and self reflection. It is time to love. Everyone won't love the way you do (not your tribe).

powerful and excellent poem!! black men are like masterpieces all in them is energy! hermosos hombres , siempre que veo uno lo admiro!!

The black man is a powerful force, unstoppable like rushing water overflowing the earth with personality and an authoritive presence. ❤

This is the most POWERFUL piece I have heard in a long time!

The way she uses her voice throughout the poem is so wonderfully executed. I don’t know how to describe aside from that it always caught my attention, she didn’t even need it to keep me locked on the screen but she did it anyway adding so much more to the performance. You can see her passion about the topic she talks about. And to mention the topics she hit oh my goodness! It’s about racism yes but it manages to hit the biggest and smallest parts of it all. Like how a black man is walking scared he will get shot or worse and the white woman clutch their purses. It hits the largest and tiniest bits of racism that are experienced everyday by black men. (Obviously there was more things she talked about and did wonderfully but I don’t want this comment to be even longer.) This was truly amazing!!!! Keep it up with your amazing work

I keep coming back to listen to her talk about me and my brothers!!!

I rarely cry, but lord above the emotions i felt listening to this poem. I laughed, I cried and felt deep profound anger.
