all black everything

A United States of America where slavery never existed, where there was no misery, where blacks were employed and didn't work for free, where they actually enjoyed the first 400 years, where the Constitution was written by W.E.B. Du Bois, where there wasn't any Reconstruction and the Civil War never happened, where a black woman was voted head of the KKK, Malcolm Little dies as an old man, and Dr. King reads his eulogy, where Bill O'Reilly reads from the Quran, and President Bush sends his condolences to Iran, the Crips never occurred so there were never any Bloods to attack them, where there wasn't even any hood to fight over in the first place, where it was all black. Everything.

You would never know
If you could ever be
If you never try
You would never see
Stayed in Africa
We ain’t never leave
So there were no slaves in our history
Were no slave ships, were no misery, call me crazy, or isn’t he
See I fell asleep and I had a dream, it was all black everything
