YOUR IMAGINARY NI66ER

I really would like to know why you created the NIGGER. What inside your mind helped purport this savage figure? What was the purpose? What created your inherent need? Was it just for subjugation? Was it simply a case of greed? I was born as a man. Birthed from a woman just like you. However, you perpetrated a lie and told a story that wasn't true. In your story I am savage; you made an animal out of me. You stripped away my humanity and said I wasn't born to be free. Why was I the NIGGER? Something separate and not like you. It can't just be my color because you have darker versions too. No, I believe it was your hatred! You jealous inherent need! I was beaten into submission to satisfy your insatiable greed! You knew I was a man, and that I walked, talked, and breathed. You needed me to be your animal so you could subjugate my seed! You needed this fictional NIGGER! Your mythological COON! You needed me to be a BOY, so I was seen as your buffoon. It is a figment of your imagination. It shows your inner soul. You created this dumb NIGGER so that you could feel whole. Some will say "I never said it! I would never call you that!" Your mouths never professed the word but we see it in your acts. Your effeteness is a problem that we have endured for far too long. It desires to quell our spirits, and we must fight to keep it strong. You push the famously uneducated and our fatherless and forlorn. These fools COON at your events and sing your favorite songs. You say you give us opportunities, but you boldly call it a handout. It follows the NIGGER myth that we eat out the hands you hold out! No, you don't call me NIGGER, but some of you think it every day. It shows in your evaluations and the shady things you often say. The truth is I wasn't made to be your stepping stone. I was created to be a man and to stand proudly on my own. I am not that whimsical NIGGER! I will never choose to be your slave. I will never curtail or diminish. You will not tell me how to behave. I was made in God's great image just the same as all of you! I was created to live in this world, and that is exactly what I will do! Take your imaginary NIGGER! He’s a fragment of your twisted soul. He is your needed creation! My people never needed him to feel whole! © Eddie K. Phillips
