Dear white people,

stop adding chairs to your tables for people like me
and get the fuck off it so I can fucking break it

because you cannot break it, 
even if you shout that out with earnest
you just cannot,
only someone who has never sat at that 
table has the courage to break it
because that table feeds your intrinsic privilege
and even if your heart is as wide as the grand canyon
you still will remain complicit to that power 
rather than truly and fully renounce it
because who you are and how you live, 
think, breathe, your every cell 
no matter your politics is nourished 
by the bounty on display at that table.

So dear white people, 
if you truly care about justice
get the fuck off your table, 
so I can fucking break it.
