Let us rejoice, but also let us reflect. We still have a long way to go.

when they want the tan skin but not the darkest of night 

when they want the third eye but not the perspective

when they want the bangles but not the troubles

when they want the flavor but not the smell

when they want to practice but not understand

when they want the trend but not the history

when they want the benefits but not the disadvantages

when they want the light but not the heat

I want an explanation as to why “this is soo wrong” followed my emojis is someone’s response to blatant racism.

I want an explanation why their parents clearly didn’t find a problem with this.

I want an explanation why, if someone contacted their school boards, why these kids still managed to attend their prom.

I want an explanation as to why in our society white people continue to perpetuate racial stereotypes into their everyday life and they do not face the repercussions.
