White Power

After watching Dave Chapelle and thinking about what it really means to have white power.

White Power
White power
White power
What does it all mean
White power
Well if you are considered white
Plus have a surplus of funds and contacts
Enough to make power moves outside your community
Guess what
White power would mean very little
Because you are part of a bigger machine
White power historically was given to Non-Africans
Or any other Non-Indigenous people
Who were poor
So poor the only thing they had going for them
Was there white skin
This white skin enabled these poor people
To own black people
That's really all it was worth
So after the illegalization of chattel slavery
Meant whiteness had no power
Now blacks on this continent
Once again can eek out an existence
This is black power
The power not to be owned
White power is the ability to own black people as chattel slaves
So when I here a person say
White Power
White Power
White Power
All I can think about is
Really you want to own black people
Because you nothing else
From the white power elite
This also means
You're a nigger
In the eyes of the elite
White Power
White Power
White Power
Black power in America is just to exsist
Not to enslave people
Not to kill or hurt people
Just to live
Black power
