A seven year-old spoken word prodigy(now 10) has been banned from Peekskill School District in New York. Autum Ashante is a child poet who has performed several times at The Apollo and has had numerous television appearances. She is a critic’s favorite because despite her tender age her lyrics contain a social consciousness unbeknown to most.
After being invited to read her work “White Nationalism Put U in Bondage” for an audience of middle and high school students, Autumn is being accused of racism. Apparently the community was outraged because of Autum’s comparison of Morgan, Darwin and Columbus to a vampire. The school had to call and leave hundreds of apology messages for angry parents.
School officials have stated that they were unaware that her poem had such an aggressive tone and were worried that the students were too young for the material…I wonder what they expected from a poem with the words “white nationalism” in the title.
It’s funny that the words of a seven year-old are considered too aggressive for teenagers when we live in a world where you can blow off a man’s head in any standard video game.
What about the age appropriate material, can that concern really be taken seriously? MTV exploits teenage sexuality on a daily basis, who do you think their target audience is?
Here is an excerpt from White Nationalism Put U In Bondage:
Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse.
They took the gold, the wisdom and all the storytellers.
They took the black women, with the black man weak. Made to watch as they changed the paradigm of our village.
Yeah white nationalism is what put you in bondage.
Pirates and vampires like Columbus, Morgan and Darwin.
