If I Was Born White?

If I Was Born White

If I was born white I wonder how different life would be?

Could I massacre a church and then claim adhd.

If I was born white, how well in life would I rank?

Would it be much easier for me to get a mortgage at the bank?

Could I walk my dog in peace without someone calling the police?

Could I be able to barbecue my pork chops in peace?

I know I would be able to sell lemonade without being crucified

And cops wouldn’t stop my car for no reason and make up lies

If I was born white I could do ridiculous things and serve less jail time

My credit would be great and shopping on amazon would be prime.

If I was born white I could supervise black people who were smarter than me?

My color could make me skip the A B C’s

If I was born white I would start fights with other races and then be the victim

If I was white I would laugh and say there is no such thing as racism.

If I was white my forefather’s children wouldn’t be crocodile bait

If I was born white?

Just a dream I had

But I wake up to reality and then life makes me mad.
