What if Whites had been enslaved?

I was just sittin here thinking to myself, what it were Whites had been enslaved? What if their families were made to be split apart? If they were told their name isn't going to be this it's going to be this? If they were boiled alive, if they were beaten with whips that made deep lacerations, if their women were d consistently, if their men dehumanized and stripped of their masculinity? If their limbs cut off, if they couldn't gain access to books? If they picked cotton, tended to our children, stole their music, killed for looking at our women, killed for being on the wrong side of the sidewalk, stopped because you're not supposed to be in a particular town or car. Made fun of for years, centuries really? Pitted against one another for divisive purposes, having to fight for everything that is rightfully yours? Would you want us to forget that?
