It is time to lift up the carpet of deception and expose the dirt that you swept under itA
We do not care whether you can stand the smell of your own excrement or notB
Your opportunistic forefathers ran away from Great Britain and came to the west as wandersC
They settled in other people s lands and they reaped what they did not cultivateD
The Americans claimed that they discovered a land but the land had already been inhabited by peopleE
So the country that you proudly call your home does not belong to you it is a stolen landF
-
Your dishonest teachers and leaders have not told you the whole truth about your historyG
If the deceivers could find a way to erase their ugly past they would gladly do thatH
Your great grandfathers and your forefathers were thieves murderers and plunderersC
They barbarically murdered the native Apaches and others and stole their landsC
Many Indians are now living in their own country on lands that you call reservationI
And you treat them as if they were alien residents in the country when you are the intrudersC
-
Now let us go back under the decorative carpet and expose more dirt even if you will be ashamed of itA
The evil minded Americans also went to Africa captured Africans and enslaved themJ
They subjected black people to the most inhumane treatment that mankind had ever knownK
Negroes were stripped of their dignity under the loathsome apartheid system in AmericaL
Your cruel forefathers abused and murdered our forefathers and raped black womenI
You are the wayward offspring of wicked slavers kidnappers oppressors liars and rapistsC
And some of you have the audacity to say that the Negroes of today were not victimsC
-
The fact that your forefathers did these evil things to our forefathers they also offended usC
We are suffering because they robbed our forefathers and enslaved them for four hundred yearsC
You are now benefiting from the wealth that your forefathers had stolen from AfricaL
You and your children are also benefiting from a four hundred year economic head startM
Our children and we have been living in squalid conditions because of what your forefathers didN
-
Wait generation of demons that is not all there is more dirt under the carpet to exposeC
Your racist grandfathers murdered Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X for speaking the truthO
They also murdered their president John F Kennedy and imprisoned the wrong manP
The American soldiers whom you regard as heroes brutally raped and murdered Vietnamese womenI
And they massacred innocent Vietnamese civilians including children during the war in VietnamQ
-
Even though the hypocritical Americans speak against the other countries with nuclear weaponsC
America is the only country that has ever used nuclear weapons against another countryG
They unconventionally dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki near the end of World War IIR
Last but not least your greedy and vicious forefathers also stole some Mexican territoriesC
You call America The Big Apple but America is no apple it is a little pepper called scotch bonnetS
We should look under the large attractive carpet again and expose more dirt on AmericaL
But if you want to know more about your past ask your teachers and leaders or do your own researchT
