Is there really true freedom for all?
Over a million black men bake in US prisons-
with sentences far outweighing their crimes.
Many times
the same crime committed by a white man would not even get
him arrested or convicted.
Throw in slavery, institutionalized racism, the 1933-44 holocaust, the colonization of Africa, the prison industrial complex, Aids, Malaria, Sickle cell, i could go on and on and on,
but i ask again
Is the blackman really free?
much has improved
there is a great deal of betterment
but deep seated racism is still rampant
