What Kehinde Talking About?

When Black Men Sound Like White Women Sound Like White Men

December 5, 2017

Black girl

Sister

Queen

Black Friend

Mammy

Object of my desire

Tell me who hurt you

Unless it was me

Or someone who looks like me

In that case

Then you need the facts

And you should let the courts decide

Because the courts never get it wrong

Unless they get it wrong with me

You’re being divisive

We’re all…

Black

(White) Women

Why do you insist on being both

All the damn time?

Not all…

Black men

White women

We need unity

Why do you hate…

Black men

White women

Are you sure that’s what happened?

Maybe you misunderstood

Because my intentions matter

Not the impact

Of my words

My actions

Not you

Unless you’re using your voice

Your labor

Your body

For me

In which case

I need you to do it in silence
