You mean "I have been a racist woman for a long time"...there, I fixed it for you
I have been woman
for a long time
beware my smile
I am treacherous with old magic
and the noon's new fury
with all your wide futures
promised
I am
woman
and not white.
— Audre Lorde

If your poem's content is worthy...then I ask, is my poem below equally worthy? Why or why not? I have been man for a long time beware my smile I am treacherous with old magic and the noon's new fury with all your wide futures promised I am man and not black. KSpic.twitter.com/t4ZgYEM0vj

Well for one, your point is technically copyright infringement of Audre Lorde and therefore, illegal. Which would make your poem’s content EXTREMELY unworthy.

People please read the whole poem. Audre Lorde was a champion for equality. Kamala Harris is a fighter for equality. Thank you Kamala.

I was going to put a like on this till I read the last line, why does race have to be in there?

What’s wrong with identifying race? This poem was written by Audre Lorde. We are in the age of google. Google her and you’ll probably find a ton of research about her and this piece.
