Expatriates All and My Hood White or Black First

Being by skin colour (therefore labeled)

[though against bigoted 'white boys']

'white and racist'

whose ancestors of

full culpability

settled in the

rightfully First Nation

usurped Mohawk Valley: and,

well before your white forebearers

came forth from

the dank holds of chattel

vessels plying their trade

in claiming dominion

over the lakes, rivers and lands

of their corn, sustenance, and the

dwelling spaces of their culture,

with your new invasions

of foreigners in their conquest

of right, and justified

as demi-gods chosen to proclaim

the birthrights of ownership;

sanctimoniously led,

and reconciled in a worship of gain

cleansed, sanctified and euphemised

with the Idea-of-god

held firm in an overriding purpose,

made of race and a common purity

fashioned of a Pharisee's piety.

Jackson disavowed human equality;

and, his own Supreme Court to tear up

treaties from the Creek, the Cherokee,

to the Chickasaw, and Choctaw in a

genocide and diaspora as evil as the

Muslim Turks of forgotten Armenia and

a 'Trail of Tears' more despicable than,

Hirohito's 'Death march of Bataan'.

The Mississippi was pushed beyond and onto

the 'forever given' Great Western Plains

with remade lies and forked tongue.

There was land to the west and gold

to be found in the abode of the Sioux.

Consumed, we glorified and now extol

our Custers and scurvy, parasitic kin

who passed out smallpox blanket and,

slaughtered the great buffalo in their

millions in an untempered, onslaught

of Darwinistic 'Manifest Destiny'

like killer weasels in a chicken coop.

With an iron edged and gunpowder culture

we (banded and bred of cloned kin) then

like the Visigoths and Mongols of yore

turned and descended upon the Spanish

and their generations of haciendas from

Texas to Colorado, Santa Fe, New Mexico,

then California; and, the British of

Rupert's Land, Oregon and Washington with

the fires of 'Fifty-four forty or Fight'.

So it is with our mongrel melange of immigrant blood, we

but continue blindly concoct a cultural purity

of a tribal lineage purified in a might of right.

Let's here stop and be instead kind; as,

it would be so very wrong, if not

really bad and likely dangerous,

to fake-news make

a KKK bad boy Maga troll

look stupid....

Wouldn't want that, would we.
