    "We just hate people who perpetuate or refuse to acknowledge the history of social, cultural, political, and racial fuckery placed against us... That they're white is pure coincidence."
    Lmao.. Yes, just yes. Great poem. Great use of humor to convey your. I reacted the same way as the audience. This was awesome. Great job Gabriel.

    The fact that you don't get the usual racist comments on these poetry videos just proves that those responsible for those comments don't have the mental capacity to find these videos appealing.

      But the idea that racists are just immature brainless idiots is a much more satisfying theorem.

    Ask a black girl (a poetic response to this poem ) ( feel free to comment ..I'm the one who wrote it )
    Dear all people as your resident "black girl friend " let me help you out
    Just cause I'm black doesn't mean I'm ghetto , HOWEVER, if provoked I will go off
    I'm smart but I'm not anyone's "horse"
    I'm not one you can just ride to get around just cause I'm smart
    Yes I may be smart but I'm also " hood rich"
    If need be there's a high possibility let alone probability
    That if need be I will get southern on you
    But not that sweet southern belle
    I'm talking that no nonsense southern chick
    That may ask you questions WITHOUT TALKING
    You know the one that one girl that's smart but if provoked
    WILL BRIM BETWEEN INTELLIGENCE & STRAIGHT RACHICITY
    SO DONT MESS WITH ME
    IM NICE WITH MINE BUT DONT MESS WITH MY BEHIND
    BECAUSE ANYONE WITH AN OUNCE OF COMMON DECENCY
    WOULDNT WANT 2 SEE REAL STREET COME OUT OF ME
    Intelligently relevant
    But boy not really a common element
    Real recognize real
    YOU KNOW THE DEAL

    Ah. Quite informative, young man. I am interested in purchasing such an item. Is there, perhaps, a chance of an upgrade or a deluxe edition where the ass-whopping side effect is significantly reduced or completely removed? That would be much appreciated. I would also care to inquire if there is a costumer support number one might call or a costumer review section one can partake in for complaints about defective products or the cost to quality ratio of the product itself.
    Many thanks,
    Clueless Shopper
