No-win game, leading bassackwards to “Thom-Ass Clarence...Temples of Afrocentric Professors” and “Pinocchio politicians.”
Skin-game
by BAR Poet-in-Residence Raymond Nat Turner
The skin-game’s a
Thin game, melanin
Game, Mickey Finn
Game, kingpin game,
No-win game—
Benjamin game, 100%
For the one percent…
Wage-slaves betting, Stockholm Syndrome-style,
Against solidarity and losing their shirts to sheets,
Dunce caps, camouflage, blue uniforms, Brooks Brothers suits…
Prosecuting, redlining, foreclosing, pepper-spraying, killing
“Chinks” “camel jockeys,” “rag-heads,” “gooks,” “spooks,”
“Spicks,” “spades,” “niggers,” “sand niggers,” “fags,” and
“Cunts” on command!
The skin-game’s a
Thin game, melanin
Game, Mickey Finn
Game, kingpin game,
No-win game—
Benjamin game, 100%
For the one percent…
Trip-master monkey business
Of Bacon’s Rebellion—
When the “white race” was
Invented, circa 1676—
To Occupy Oakland 2011
General strike-port shutdown
Talks stalling: cultural nationalists
“People of color” tossin’ “decolonize”
Dust in “white” activists’ eyes…
The skin-game’s a
Thin game, melanin
Game, Mickey Finn
Game, kingpin game,
No-win game—
Benjamin game, 100%
For the one percent…
GPS leading bassackwards into the
Arms of Strong-arm Williams, Thom-
Ass Clarence, to Temples of Afrocentric
Professors, Pinocchio politicians, Ringling
Brothers of Rhetoric, torturing reason, trading
Resistance for rubbing elbows with warlords &
Pledging allegiance to serial wars for slavery…

Nothing is sacred under capitalism. Even hip hop, the genre which spoke to Black politics and culture is now just another commodity.
Any celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip hop must reference its worldwide political appeal.
