you want to be racist, then be a true racist. Don’t ignore the fact that your comfort and progress rest on Black innovation. Do you want the list? The ironing board—without them, no ease. The refrigerator—without them, no safety. The baby carriage—your freedom to move. The traffic signal—your safety in the streets. The light bulb—your nights bright. The smartphone—your connection. The GPS—your direction. Neurosurgeons—saving lives.
Chorus:
Your world stands on what you deny.
Every step you take is built on us.
And still, you choose to look away.
Do you still think you want to be racist?”
