Middle-Aged White Woman (Free verse) by Dovina

Maybe it’s time. You look at me and see a symbol of conservative acts that hurt you. My kind abused your kind. Now with your freedom, your authority, your power, it’s time for retribution. Go ahead, ignore me, don’t hire me belittle me in your verse skip over me at your readings. My ancestors did it to your ancestors. You have the right. It’s a new experience for me, that’s all. Maybe it’s time.

It will save you time in the long run. If you don't take this opportunity to have an independent, objective assessment of your Racism Quotient, the speculations will continue. Here's one for starters: I think you DID take the test, but your data suggested a strong preference for Whites relative to Blacks. Not wanting to share this white-hooded dumpling with the rest of the group, but still too spineless to tell an outright lie, you opted for the flaccid "it didn't work" compromise. Which is still an outright lie, by the way, but one that is subtle enough to wriggle through your unbelievably porous integrity membrane. Quite frankly I'm appalled.
