Anita Cameron Saw Helen Keller


Camero; fierce Black autistic lesbian

BLM

Awoke and filled with opinion and advice

Exposing those she sees as White

 

Welcome to the new order of a world filled with racist colors

Where even Time takes sides in the madness

Where savages of all colors riot against any other colors rights...

 

Strange though, it is, Camero can see the colors

She can feel and hear

She knows she is Black

yet

Helen Keller never saw, never even knew she was white

or that any color existed other than the words she heard

in her mind.
