Intention

What fuels the hubris of racism other than the people's refusal to confront the intentional historyof crafting the white supremacy lie?
The lies of the colonizers became the constructed sins of the nation as they were crafted with the intention of being an expanding yoke of injustice.
The yoke's intentional lies produceabsurd but commonly accepted untruths fostering actions, both committed and omitted,of reinforced oppression, privilege, and shame.
Instead of aspiring for justice, the dominant group ignores callsfor resolution and dismissively bequeathsthe unjust yoke to the intentions of tomorrow.
The weight of yesteryear's enshrined sinis today's burden of lived experienceuntil you give intention to the heavy liftingrequired to dismantle the lies supporting the yoke.
