lyrics

Grumblin' tummy? Mind ill at ease?
You need an empathetic ear
You need a late lunch sogged with grease

White hands hold white hands
While black hands wring with grief

Over breakfast, eyes meet in agreement
What goes for troubled in some parts of town
In others ain't worth grieving

White hands hold white hands
While black hands wring with grief

In a park, children doing children's things
In a car, lovers doing lovers' things
The quaint banalities of life
Twisted to the moment's needs

Explanation:

There is a clear disparity between the treatment of white citizens and citizens of color in the US, and the delineation is no more apparent than law enforcement's handling of white terrorists/criminals versus black civilians. There is always time for de-escalation, rationalization, and coddling when black church-goers are murdered, but the weaponization and criminalization of Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Rekia Boyd, Eric Harris, Mike Brown, etc. happened before a call was ever made. Anti-blackness is the foundation of our country and without addressing it, any talk of equality is patently farcical.
