THIS IS WHY I VOTE!


THIS IS WHY I VOTE! (true story)

Everyone, This is my grandfather

He was Born in 1900

The son of a free slave

Whose grandfather was a slave

Born in the OLD SOUTH

where He had to walk

a certain way

Everyday just to live

With tears in his eyes

because he had

No rights to exercise

And was told to shut

His mouth to his core

Where White folks said

Respect was when given only when

Blackmen looked to the floor


When they called you

Nigger for being,

and Boy

Because they refuse to

See the man in you


Uppity Niggers

Is what they called you

If you spoke up right when

Whites was always uptight

And wouldnt let you

Fight out of fright

For you to

Utilize your rights


When they said

All men were

created equal

Didnt mean

Black people, and

You niggers

Need to know

your place!!


He had to walk into

Segregated bathrooms

And sandwich shops

And was told

To go to the back

Of the bus


He saw blackmen

and

women lynched

For the fight

For equal rights

Silent marches

And people removed

From sight

Never to be seen again


All because

They wanted to vote.


He couldnt vote

For the 1st time

Until 1965


Imagine waiting

65 long years

Just to be able

To do the shit

Everyone of you

Take advantage of

Every fuckin day


This picture

is my Grandfather.

His name was

Charles Robinson.

The son of a freed slave

And grandson of a slave

Who only lived

Long enough to

Vote for 5 presidents


when even his

mother and father

Couldnt

Do nothing more ...


Except stay in thier place.


Because

white people

Wouldnt let

black people vote when

Segregation

blanketed

The nation

And all he wanted to do


WAS VOTE!


What would you today

Do if they

Took your "rights"

and told you what

To do what they told you

And made you

"Stay in your place"


For 65 years

White people said

You Uppity Niggers

Better not try to vote!


55 years later....


Dont worry Mr. Colonizer

A lot of them wont!

Because Ignorance is

the best Deterrent !


But Your Grandson

Ain't Built like that Grandpa,

I WILL VOTE

BECAUSE YOU COULDNT!!


Written and Signed with Love,

Honor & Respect

By your

Uppity Nigger

Militant Grandson,

John Jr.
