A very dark parody of Christina Aguilera's song Fighter.

Warning! May offend some readers!

After all you put my people through
You'd think we'd despise you
But in the end, we wanna thank you
'Cause your racism made us that much stronger and that much prouder


Well you must have thought, thought you knew us
That you use us, screw us, and abuse us
Bring us down, right down to our knees
Thinking that amoug us you could breed hate, fear and misunderstanding
Na, na
Not gonna ever happen
White boyz and girlz we be callin' your bluff
Cos this time you done took it all too damn far
We've had enough
Not gonna put your KKK nonsense no mo'


Standing here tall
Side by side by side
Brothers and sisters
One and all
Always together, always down for the ride
Gonna shoot your racism, shoot it on down in flames
No mo' sold out by your greed and shameful displays of hate, mmmm


Always calling us names
Accusing us of stealing and cheating
You probably think that we resent you
But, uh uh, oh no white boy you're wrong
'Cause if it was't for all the ways you've tried to hold us down over the years
We would't know how capable we were
Able to pull through, be strong and hold onto one another
Standing up to you
So thank you white boy, thank you
'Cause it.....


Makes us that much prouder to be darker
Blacker then you
Makes us work that much harder
To prove you wrong
We act that much tougher
Againest a world that hates us sometimes
We brush it all off to say
Thank you white boyz and girlz for calling us n........


Oh, oh, oh, oh
OOh, yeah, oh


Never saw this movement coming
Did ya?
Never thought that we would fight back
Take no prisoners
Thought that it would all be so damn easy
So damn easy to just take us down
One by one by one
Till there was't none of our roots left
So you pushed us around
Hired a white man to call us names on the radio
Said that our lifes were nothing but lazy games
Now we hear all trying to go around
Playing the victims
Pretending that only one stood alone in his racist call
And that we're the ones who should be sorry
White boyz don't you even go there
Cursing at us that we're the ones to blames
When you know you're the ones who dug your own graves


After all the fighting and lies
Burning crosses on our lawns
'Cause you think you can run us out
But that won't work no mo'
Cos these are no longer our ancestor's slavery days
No mo' uh uh, they're over
Time to change your ways
Saying thank you now
Cause it just.....


Makes us that much prouder to be darker
Blacker then you
Makes us work that much harder
To prove you wrong
We act that much tougher
Againest a world that hates us sometimes
We brush it all off to say
Thank you white boyz and girlz for calling us n........


Wonder oh yes we wonder how
Men who think they're so great
Have to hide behind sheets and online screen names
Able only to see the good in their own shade of skin and no other
Pretending not to see the truth that all men are created equal in the eyes of our one shared God
Instead they try to hide behind a devil's dirty white lies
Disguise themselves
Through living in denial
Maybe in the end they'll see
All we want is peace

It must work in hindsight

I was wondering if this was influenced by the kicking of the stupid idiot Emus or whatshemacallhim after he called the basketball team of this young Afro-American women some ugly names - I am telling you Ramona, white as I am, I was celebrating that whole week! Another bigot went down...

As far as the theme of becoming stronger by the oppression, I figure how it could work in hindsight. But somehow I doubt that even you would go as far as prescribing to a dedicated community organizer in the following way: 'You know what, I know a great way to make us stronger, why won't we hire some bigots to call us the by the N word as it would strengthen the community...'

n word...

I like black, I own a black lab (...the wall...) and love the night (~_~) your poem was topical, thanks for the read!

The first step in the removal of freedom of speech!
