Lennon was shot by a white boy, the kind who go around shooting up schools.
I found a poem for you, Bambu

Oh there are bad white people in the world.
Lots of them.
It was White people who made my life in the workplace horrible, much of the time.
An old White school headmaster who flogged my hands with a cane for looking at my watch at assembly.
I should've taken the cane away from him and belted him with it...but as children we were trained to be submissive, always do as we were told by adults. Sitting ducks to be used and abused.
One boy's mother, at a different school did do it...went to school, asked to see teacher who caned her son, asked to see the cane, teacher obliged, mother took the cane and belted the teacher with it, more than once.
Hell hath no fury like an angry mom.
