How delicious Black culture must taste to
This monster that devours us daily.
A nutrient-dense culture worthy of
The constipation risk. Indigestion
Never stopping the monster before, its
Eyes for conquest always looming larger
Than its Intestinal ability.
.
Yet still it views Blackness as upsetting.
Difficult to process, hard to stomach.
Wishing it's victim would be more grateful.
That it should settle-in happily, for
A slow lifetime of brutal violence.
Generations forced, inside this awful
Digestive system, built to constantly
crush culture. While anything left over
Is cruelly pushed out into a wide hole
Filled deep, with punishment and poverty.
Such a waste, such a waste. But then again
Oh how delicious, Black culture must taste.

Self Help: Grifters' Gospel
On Self-Help, Snake Oil, and the Illusion of Change Psychology professionals and students can be imagined on two opposite sides of a line called self-help books: likely a larger group opposes pop-science and step-by-step manuals filled with talk of success, journaling, and not giving a f**k; others love them, but they aren’t many.
