Mirror Mirror Who's Most American Of Us All? Poem by Ripuree Rip

Mirror Mirror Who's Most American Of Us All?



Mirror Mirror on our American wall
Who's the most American; of us all
Is it Ayanna Pressley, or Donald Trump,
AOC, Rashida Tlaib, or Ilhan Omar?

Were the U.S. and Americas not occupied by brown and black
skinned people,
When Europeans came and spread their seed
So that every white person in the U.S. is now European American
Just as African American, is every black from African descent?

On his mother's side Trump is a first generation American
While two of his three wives are European born and bred
And while he's telling loyal Americans to leave the U.S.
Trump's soul is sold to Putin, Kim Jung Un and other anti-
American strongmen.

And does Trump know the definition of America
Or for that matter, do most Americans know for sure
Do they know that America is the name of two of the world's continents
And that the U.S. is just one country on the North American side
As is Mexico, Canada, Trinidad, Jamaica and Belize

Therefore Mexicans and Jamaicans are not becoming Americans
by the process of U.S. Naturalization
We're simply becoming legal citizens of the U.S.
Just as a British person in Germany does not need to become
European
When he's been European from birth.

A Chinese in Japan is also a legal Asian
Just as a Nigerian in Ghana is no less African
than the Ghanaian in whose home the Nigerian reside.
Each continent consists of countries
And one does not need to be naturalized as a member of a continent
When between countries on that continent, he moves around.

So Mr President of the U.S.
Understand that it was illegal immigration that brought many starving and oppressed Europeans to the place now called America and the U.S.
And from kidnapped black Africans free labor was brutally extracted
To build the U.S. that we all now love.

Consequently indigenous brown people from any part of the Americas
are indeed the most legitimate American,
And have been even before the U.S. and Americas were so named.
Its the U.S. who's therefore denying Mexicans their birthright status
By calling them illegal Americans in the U.S.

Also please teach your fellow white Nationalists Sir,
That they're no more American
Than the Congresswomen of Color, whom you want to deport to somewhere else.
