The Lynched In America Series–Black communities-Lynching #17-The lynching of Black comedians.

How did whites get you to become a “sambo”? From a Black actor that was good? How did they get you to play a bad cop? And play a “gangster in the hood”? How did whites get you to become a “sambo”? Counting white men as your friends? How did they get you to act like “idiots”? Calling your Black people some “n’s”? How did whites get you to become a “sambo”? While all of your white slave masters laugh? To see Black men dressed up like women? With little Black children in their path? How did whites get you to become a “sambo”? You live to follow a “rubber ball”? Black men in the past, did it for the Negro Leagues? But now white men just own “you all”? What if you hadn’t become a “sambo”? Spending your money to be like whites? Can you imagine all the good, you could have done? If you had put your money towards the fight? Who knows, one day you might wake up? And decide to make it right. And be that hero, you were meant to be, And begin to save Black children’s life. In the mean time, we’ll keep keeping on, Though our resources may be feeble. One day, you may decide to join in, Till then, “All Power To The People!” A Black Panther (P.B.C.O.C.N.)
