Kool-aid drinkin', fried chicken eatin' niggas
Rob you at gunpoint, crackhead/alcoholic niggas
Rape ya daughters rape ya sons
Heartless ass niggas
Gun totin' tech-9 4-5 stutin' niggas
Ain't man enough to take care of they own damn kids
Lazy no good niggas
Wifebeater wearin' abusive husband
Stealin' from ya loved ones
Ghetto ass niggas
Get outta my neighborhood niggas
You ain't welcome here niggas
Them niggas need Jesus
They spawn from the Devil, that's why their skin so dark
It's a curse I tell ya! A curse!
I'll be damned if I let them
Lil thievin' niggas around my kids
Go back to Africa, chase those lions
And throw spears from the highest tree niggas
My niggas wear pants that hang off they asses
My niggas are straight G's
We don't take no shit from no
"Wanna be gay ass white boy niggas"
My niggas drank 40's and talk to
Fine ass bitches that look like Beyonce
No dark bitches tho, my niggas'll kick they
Tar lookin' asses to the curb
My niggas real
Them fake ass niggas wear tight ass jeans
And look like some rock listenin' emo motherfuckas
We don't want no helpin' hand
That's what the oozi is for
Feel me, my nigga?
Don't hate the playa hate the game
We strugglin' so we hustlin' rocks
Like Young Jeezy back in the day
See, you ain't a nigga unless you from the streets
Fuck the goddamn suburbs my nigga
We stay in the hood and we run it too
Cus we niggas, real ass niggas

strong anthony...first the hate, then the tude...ignorance still exists...and sometimes you got to roll hard...
powerful my friend....
You got this published? Are you kidding me? This is sad. This is pathetic. By someone who holds themselves so high you sure managed to make yourself look pretty stupid. This is not poetry. This is not art. Were you trying to make yourself seem hard, strong, smart? It did not show.
@AmandaFlowz You obviously don't understand this poem... The ignorance you've displayed is exactly what this poem is about.
I respect the fact that you don't give a fuck and just say it. That's what it takes.
Nobody knows the struggle better than those in its midst. You show the emperor has no clothes.
wow, this is powerful stuff...puts you right in minds of the differing sides...ignorance is so sad
Anthony! Where do I begin? This is harsh and gritty, and will no doubt offend more than a few who are unable to have an original thought...the pic alone raised my eyebrows, let alone the ensuing rant. It totally offends the conditioned, PC side of my brain, but the truth seeker within screams YELL IT LOUDER! An awesome freaking start to #openlinknight! There's bound to be some discussion here...write on!
this is it my friend - every write is a step closer to your actualisation.
something you wont find get by sitting on the fence - it requires edge and this is cutting
Fucking A
as ever your art work is awesome and on meassage
superb
Just 'Wow' I am going to have to think about this one.
Thanks for sharing
it makes me sick when i think there are really people who talk like this...sad and powerfully penned anthony
I hope some people get that you just blew up a word and it's concepts from both sides of its boundaries. Heard it a lot from both those sides my whole life. And sometimes you have to shake these folks really, really hard to get their attention. You shook 'em, AD, shook 'em good.
Left me breathing hard, young friend. Keep pounding. - J
and the thing is we are living in the same world, ok, worlds inside worlds, but still the same world...pain is pain, struggle is struggle, misunderstandings, refusals to try to see, to listen...judgement just because...that's how the smaller worlds maintain their bubble.
powerful writing Anthony...thank you.
So powerful, disconcerting, yes, uncomfortable, yes. But lately I am of the mindset that we spend way too much time being politically correct, and far too little telling the truth, being real. Your voice does both.
Reminds me of being a kid and hearing my white relatives talk like the first half and being totally mystified, then growing up and hearing the same thing bizarro-mirror reversed like the second half from some gangster types, similarly puzzled--but that's how a lot of minds seem to (not) work. A very sharp, piercingly sharp, and on target poem, Anthony. Keep doing it.
One word: Okay two: Frikkin' crazy! Offensively deliberate. Wow
Wow...powerful stuff. Good to see you shaking things up! Poetry can change the world...I'm pretty sure yours can. Keep writing what's on your heart...it shines through..
Powerful and raw. Sadly, ignorance still runs strong. Thanks for sharing and speaking out.
Very powerful write.
Good for you...brave write...really impressed..i can't imagine how dreadful it is to live with such prejudice, ignorance, & all the culturally defined identity pressure/s from both 'sides' - i imagine it could be pretty bloody frustrating and painful..your voice is cutting through here..
great piece of poetry. amazing flow. i would love to hear this read by you just to hear where you put the emphasis, your intonations etc.
could you do a recording and post it on this page?
@zongrik ah, I would if I had something to record my voice on!
No holds barred and acutely drawn, a work of art. I have that dreadful knot in the pit of my stomach. Have you ever read Joseph L. Graves Jr.? He's a biologist: 'Most Americans still believe that there is some biological legitimacy to our socially constructed racial categories. However, our modern scientific understanding of human genetic diversity flies in the face of all of our social stereotypes.'
Hi. I read it to a very nice pounding rhythm.
lots of anger, lots of frustration, lots of power, and lots of empowerment... felt very real Anthony... can't directly relate to the detail, but can certainly relate to the essence...
On the one hand I'm reluctant to add to the chorus of white faces shouting "Great Job!" but on the other hand I'm glad to see you at the pub. The racial problems in our country will never even begin to be solved until we (blacks and whites esp) can speak to each other straight. This poem is a step in that direction.
I like the gritty and real...to candy coat life..is to live a lie...there is sweat and dirt, there is art and form..there is two sides to every cultural and every person....strong writing Anthony...bkm
Doesn't matter what color we are, what language we speak... we're all hypocrites one way or another. You brought this full circle... albeit dragging mine by the strength of yours. I appreciate the way you responded to ignorance.
Wow this is amazing so full of anger, power, and frustration. You say it how it is and I like this very much no holding back. Good write

A very harsh and rude opening but you drove your point in the end...too good.
Wow! stunning. Hate rant. Dude, you poem moves me. Don't know as I'd the 'guts' to write something similar...it's raw and 'out there.' in your face.
Effect? your poem got it.
thanks for sharing.
A powerful two-fingers to the P.C. Brigade.
nice concept, coulda been far better executed, if i understand ur intent, need to take a few more swings at it, C+
The reality of the poem saddened me. But the truth is just that whether you say it or not. I understand it completely but still a hard pill to swallow.
That shit ain't worthy to be PUBLISHED. It's FUCKING WHACK RAP - Punk Bitch type shit!
Wow you even drew in some haters. Felt real to me. I'm glad you got it published.
