When a Black Man Walks by Neil Israel

When a Black man walks, he is always hunted. He is always animal. He is always standing out like a living corpse. He smells like a KKK appetizer. Nuggets of his own flesh, dipped in his own blood- Neil Israel.

A painfully accurate ode to Black men. Through verse, the poets recite the dehumanization and degradation of Black men in society.
