Dancing to the Music in My Head

"We don’t teach hatred, everywhere we go as black people we face hatred, angel food cake white people say is white, devils food cake is black, you wear white to weddings and black to funerals. Black ball, black male. You give us a blonde hair, blue eyed, pale skinned, buttermilk complexion Jesus, in contradiction to the black Jesus with nappy hair in the bible. Our own babies according to behavioural scientists, when confronted with a black doll or a white doll, there has been so much damage done, they chose the white doll and say the black doll is ugly. Racism is everywhere and its institutionalised, we cannot really be racist because racism is prejudice plus power, nothing I say up here nor anywhere in the world, will impact on any white folks in your job, in politics, in economics, in housing, in society, we don’t have the power to do that so we can’t be racist. Know what I am saying."
