Black Cat, Exploits Poetic

By Jeffrey V. Perry

"Black Cat" could be determined as a jazz phrase speaking about a Black male. Here, in my book I associate the creature, a black cat with a tainted depiction and unlucky properties. However, Black Cat does describe a seemingly innate or natural tendency to single out the Black male as being different from his white counterpart. Thus particular circumstances in recent years, where there is a large number of incidences that involve the murders, at the hands of the police of Black men all across the country. Likewise, the massive incarceration of Black males is taken into consideration. It might seem that Black men just have been that more than "unlucky!" Although, historically, we can see a steady trend of these misdoing as patterns as far as the first involvement of Black peoples encountering Western man, I deem treatment of the "Black Cat" throughout the existence of Western Culture is symbolic of the proverbial "Great Elephant in the room."
