Why do white Americans hate black Americans so
I wonder if anyone really does know,
I wonder what black Americans had said or done
Maybe white Jesus could answer that one.
I wonder what black Americans have done or did
That their joy and happiness we try to always forbid,
For centuries they have been treated like worthless trash
While them and their families were sold for cash.
They have raised our families and also our crops
Now like criminals they are murdered by cops,
They have cooked our food and they raised our babies
Now we see them as mad dogs with rabies.
They have worked our lands and they built our roads
They have carried our problems as their own loads,
For us they have prayed and they have even forgave;
Even when they were a slave.
Sadly white supremacy and the KKK still exists
At black Americans they point their guns and shake their fists,
Seeing and hearing the pain and anguish we still put them through
I wonder, why we white Americans hate black Americans as much as we do.
