Stolen Identities; Forgotten Names

We've always known where we came from because they always threatened to kick us out; “go back where you came from niggers”, they shout.

We've been called Niggers, Blacks, African Americans, and Slave Porch Monkeys for so long, that even WE have forgotten our own names.

We are the Alphas and Omegas; first to be beaten and begrudged, last to be recognized and honored.

Our forgotten name is royalty, our forgotten existence and heritage buried deep beneath the bumps and bruises of systematic racism and illusions of privilege; supremacy.

We reign in intellectual perception and subliminal superiority, uncontrollably.

Though we’re tattered and torn up inside and out, psychologically and emotionally; we rise to the occasion of oppression prevailing victoriously.

We laugh in the face of hatred and racism now, for its been the catalyst to our royal comeuppance.

The inevitable has now arrived in the form of deserved karma served, as life reciprocates.

On and on….

We have forgotten our names once.

Now, we shall take claim to our rightful names!

~Royalty Reigns~
