white flight.
white devils perpetuating endless attrition / always the first to fixate unjust conditions / inquisition & the coercion into submission / the origin of the drive for manumission // ethnocentrism is the intrinsic value of the oppressor / social constructs built to instill and maintain transparent privilege and practiced hatred // violence grows parallel to class differences everywhere / virulence of the past still looms in the air / streets named after doctor king left in disrepair / there is no progression in hands of doctrinaires // ethnocentrism is the intrinsic value or the dominant culture / social constructs built to instill and maintain transparent privilege and conferred dominance // i recognize the role that my race has played through history / i recognize the wrongs committed by people just like me / i witness the effects of erected hierarchies in effect / i feel the burden of my privilege weighing me down // i was never taught that racism could be more than the obvious / but, i realize that silence does nothing but strengthen it / i feel the guilt of my existence: white, straight, well-off, and male / "white privilege is the anchor around my neck" (downcast)
