The history of slavery

Some people hold on to the history of slavery

As if it is some proud moment in time

But the truth of it is it was the vilest of crimes

And to hold on to it in any way would be holding us in shame

The Germans don’t hold on the Nazi crimes the same

It’s wrong to believe that honouring these slave traders

Is anything but disgusting obscene

Those pages in our history book are a fucking nightmare not a dream.

  2. I don’t think it is so much a matter of holding on to it but rather remembering our struggles to get to where we are. We cannot dismiss it and pretend it never happened.
