And we wonder what's wrong...
"We don't have the whole story!"
...You have centuries of stories.
"She deserved it! Shut up and obey!"
...I plead with you to seriously think about these statements.
"She was disrupting class. MY child has a right to an education!"
...Put YOUR child in that desk and defend his actions.
"She should have done as she was told. If that was my kid you'd have to stand in line to kick her ass!"
...And if you were seen treating your child in such a violent and disgusting display, it would be YOUR ass locked up.
Keep justifying. Keep making your excuses. Keep showing your true colours. No pun intended.
These are comments made by women who have the nerve to call themselves mothers. In order to do that, you must first prove you're at least human.

How quick
They are to find
Fault
In a child
When if you look
With half a mind
How are you
But to find fault
In how that grown
Ass man
Used his hands
Since when did a
Lippy mouth
Justify a body slam
How are you to restrain
A child
By throwing them
Across a room
An orphan
Grieving the loss
Of a mother
A child
Not a "mouthy bitch"
She didn't deserve
Shit but detention
Or at most suspension
Not the nightmare
Every black child fears
A white officer assaulting her
In front of a room full of children
