Fight for your country
African
American?
Beaten
Enslaved
Sold
Raped
Tortured
Pledge my allegiance?
Stolen land form natives
Superior due to the pigment of your skin
Mistreated because I am different
Coons
Niggers
Coloreds
Niggas
Monkeys
Now just a fast populating minority
But the growth doesn’t change history
No longer abused but stereotyped
No longer sold but underpaid
No longer raped but HIV positive
Dedicated a month to show sincerity
The shortest of course
Fight for your country
Die for the same people that brought you here as animals
Fight for... what?
