I'll post some more soon. I'm just bumping this. there's this one called "Skinhead" by this lady Patricia Smith who is a black woman that is  and also, I'll probably post my "White Man" poem.

Np bro. Here's Patricia Smith. This poem is superb. Probably the best spoken word poem I've ever heard. I really don't care much for spoken word anymore because classical poetry is superior imo, but a few spoken word poets hold up to that level including her and Saul Williams: Here's my poem "White Man". I don't consider this one of my better works and I actually don't really care for it much at all anymore myself, but people tend to like it, especially when I perform it live. I've had principals ask me to perform it at their schools and this is actually the poem that made Leila Steinberg work with me:
