Do not come at me
Do not come at me with your racist anger, resentment, bitterness, cleverly disguised as engaged debate to free you of your part.
The part you have played every day, in benefitting from a society designed FOR you, with you, by you, from the very start
Do not come at me with your rhetorical discussions and feigned expertise on oppressions you have never experienced
Do not come at me
Do not come at me
Do not come at me with your oppression olympics used as some sort of pass to tell me how you THINK it feels to be of colour

Do not come at me
Do not come at me
Do not come at me for your privileges hold no weight here, in my world, in my life.
I challenge your sense of entitlement and refute your hierarchy. I stand up, fist raised, head high, voice clear, against your delusional sense of superior self, your white supremacy, your patriarchy.
