Vox Pop of the triumphalist Nigger Slayer
By Stanley Collymore
You were just another Nigger and your murder is of no
consequence to anyone with even the remotest
semblance of importance attached to them.
And frankly why should it? For that is,
always was and will forever be the
reality in our exclusively
white-dominated and exceptionalist society.
And guess what? It’s the natural scheme
of things to which unconditionally
you must learn to accept; for if
you don’t you will quickly
find yourself summarily and
quite ruthlessly disposed
of– and, brutally put,
without any qualms
or even a token
gesture of
regret!

Author’s comment:
In memoriam of Michael Brown and all other Blacks of both genders and of all ages both known and unknown, who across the west and elsewhere have been gratuitously killed in the name of state-institutionalized as well as casual racism.
Together with my absolute empathy and utmost solidarity with the community of Ferguson, Missouri and all such communities across the United States, Britain, the rest of Europe and elsewhere globally; and to unambiguously let you know and likewise assure you you’re not alone in your fight for freedom, justice, equality and the deserving dignity to live your lives as human beings. So the fight will continue whatever our enemies do until victory is finally achieved; for without Justice there will be no Peace - AMANDLA!
