“Are already at work. Blue. I’ll never know who started the lie that we   are lazy, But I’d love to wake that bastard up At foreday in the morning, toss him in a truck, and drive him under   God Past every bus stop in America to see all those black folk Waiting to go work for whatever they want. A house? A boy To keep the lawn cut? Some color in the yard? My God, we leave   things green.”
― Jericho Brown, The Tradition
