Day Four: Racial Discrimination

For the Billions who have been Victims of Racially Based Violence

It’s not over.
Russian, Japanese, African—
It’s not over.
We think it’s gone, it’s just older.
Don’t dismay, though Love it can.
‘Brown’, ‘hoodies’, Muslim, Mexican—
It’s not over.

(2014)

This is day four of my month long Rondelet marathon! It was inspired by one of my peers remarking that racism ended along with the slave trade, an obviously false statement. I stand in solidarity.
