Who Did It To You? Round Table Discussion with Dr. James Jones

The issue of Separation or integration

If integration was a bird
Then we wouldn't have wings
If integration was a choir
Black and White could never sing
Cause integration isn't for me and you

If integration was an Oscar
Black and White could never win
Cause we can never act out our parts
If integration is the Bible
Then we are lost in sin
Because its not in our hearts

So why don't y'all go your way
And we will go ours
Live y'all’s life, and we will live ours
you'll do well, and we'll be fine
Cause we're better off, separated

If integration was a fire
Then we have lost the spark
If integration was a light
Then we're lost in the dark
If integration was a sport
We're not on the same team
Black and White are destined to lose
If integration was an ocean
Then we are just a stream
Cause integration isn't for Black and White

So why don't y'all go y'alls way
And we'll go ours
Live y'all’s life, and we’ll live ours
you'll do well, and we'll be fine
Cause we're better off, separated

I know we had some good times
It's sad but now we gotta say goodbye
I can't say we didn't try to make it work for Black and White
I know it hurts so much but it's best for us
Somewhere along this windy road we lost the trust
So I'll walk away so you don't have to see me cry
Whites are killing us so, why don't y’all go

So why don't y'all go your way
And we'll go ours
Live y'alls life, and we’ll live ours
you'll do well, and we'll be fine
Cause we're better off, so much better off, separated
Truth has come to you~
