The worm has turned ... to become a
venomous serpent, its tongue spiked with
spite as it circles its victims with derision
and blame for historical human failings
that reach back just far enough to loath
the white imperialist slavers who took both
inspiration and assistance from the worm's
coevals skilled in tribal warfare and slavery.
The misery of victimhood and the infamy
of slavers have bequeathed gifts upon the
inheritors of another rite of human history
where now the victims glory in their Black
suffering and the inheritors of their white
persecutors are doomed to penance while
society at large shifts a burden of guilt on
one and the pleasure of exacting vengeance
on the other, turning the lance of steely
condemnation to cauterize the wound and
inflict it now upon the censure-absorbing
descendants familiarly known as supremacists.
There is no escape from the accusations in
this era of equality, inclusion and diversity.
You are either a liberated victim or an odious
unreconstructed white supremacist. There are
no agencies of society, academia, commerce or
government that have not committed to erasing
white privilege. The raging fever of victim
and wronged in its reversal is remorseless.
