The American Game of Spades / by *nickels*

The American Game of Spaces

Um.. there are easier ways to get people to go back to Africa. 
Maybe you showed your hand too early. I think. 
You didn't mean to cut with the Ace of Spades 
and now you're reneging on a promise you made 
to ALL CITIZENS of this country?
 This is a conspiracy right? 
Some one pinch me, I think I'm dreaming.
 We aren't rewarding bad behavior are we? 
I swear it can't be Jim Crow time still. Right?
 This isn't apartheid-era South Africa right? 
I matter now.... right? 
In a "post-racial" American you call it.
MY American dream matters right? 
right.....


RIP Eric Garner.
