<p>You know, I don't really understand the term "Racism".</p><p>I grew up in Nigeria where we are all black.</p><p></p><p>Many grew up with no light, walked in the dark just using their instinct to know where they are at. </p><p>Where a three-square meal isn't really assured. </p><p>They see a meal a day and they are praising the Lord. </p><p>Where better days aren't ahead anymore; they are now covered with fog. </p><p>What the f...? </p><p>I guess I'm not allowed to curse, so let me be civil. </p><p>But what's the point of being civil when our civil rights are being ignored? </p><p>Where dreams and ambitions are killed and destroyed. </p><p>Where the government barely responds. </p><p>Where... </p><p><em>[Breathe in, breathe out] </em></p><p>Where people in power get sick and they travel abroad. </p><p>Why travel abroad? Don't you have doctors and hospitals at home? Huh? </p><p>Cat got your tongue?!</p><p></p><p>You know, I don't really understand the term "Racism". </p><p>I grew up in Nigeria where we are all black. </p><p>Where half of her citizens are either ill or confused. And the other half want to leave the country; leave it for who? </p><p>Don't get me wrong; I'm also in on it too.</p><p>That's another thing: we are also hypocrites too.</p><p>We advocate for a country while leaving it in ruins. </p><p>I won't blame them; if you were in their shoes, you'd be doing it too. </p><p>The slave trade ended, but I can see my people going back to the places they were caged in, putting the same shackles on their ankles and on their damn wrists. </p><p>I guess we aren't really independent. </p><p>How can we be independent when the government's hell-bent on making us suffer in this hell, friends? </p><p>Make it make sense!!!</p>
