I was in job service, just looking for a job
when in came this funky-smelling, overweight slob
with a body-odor stink that could clear a city block
and food between his teeth that sprayed when he talked
his hair had more grease than a bacon-frying pan
and his clothes hadn't seen a washer since they left Japan
He had with him a boom-box, blasting a noisy beat
and was using fowler language than a sailor in the fleet
When the interviewer told him he didn't make the screen
because of his lack of personal hygene,
he started into yelling, and went into a rant
thats when he went into that old familiar chant
"Y'all be Racist!
Y'all be Racist!
Y'all be Racist!
be keepin' us down!"
I went into a nightclub, to listen to the band
there was nowhere left to sit, there was barely room to stand
Then this dude bumped into me, then HE wanted to fight
I said "I did nothing to you!" He answered "you're white!"
So I braced myself for trouble while he gathered up his friends
I asked "you got enough back-up?" he replied "it depends"
"give me your money, cracker!" the dude hissed through gold teeth
unaware of all the cop-cars that were gathering beneath
when two big blue arms pulled his hands behind his back
they cuffed him, and searched him, and found his rocks of crack
as the police dragged his writhing body off to jail
out of his mouth came that old familiar wail
"Y'all be Racist!
Y'all be Racist!
Y'all be Racist!
be keepin' us down!"
One of these days, this is what I'll do
I'm going to confront the ACLU
and go right up to the liberals and get in their face
and say "You're all the bigots who are hung up on race!
where are the quotas for whitey in affirmative action?"
then I'll look in their faces to see their reaction
"why are there no scolarships for underprivelidged whites?
Why are there no legal firms fighting for our rights?
You blame us for everything you possibly can
and if we show a little pride, you compare us to the Klan
so here's a little ditty for you to think about"
then I'll hold my white head high, and let out the shout;
"Y'all be Racist!
Y'all be Racist!
Y'all be Racist!
be keepin' us down!"
In a list
Please tell me what you think

Great write and so true. Whites don't generally cry 'racist' about things blacks do- and conservatives don't generally think about it in situations where a liberal would.
Apparantly someone dressed up as Tiger Woods for Halloween. That was called 'racist'. Compare that to the show 'le blancs'. I know which I'd call racist.
Thanks for your comments and opinion

Great piece. The repetition seemed a bit more like a song than a poem to me. This was a good write and so true
Why is there no NAAWP and no MOWA awards? I think the problem is that there's a NAACP, MOBA awards etc- we shouldn't be divided like that.

i've lived up north and now i live in the south and i have figured out that people just hate everybody , does not matter what race you are or what sex you are people just hate because they don't even like there selves so why should they like any body else at least there is one that will always love you , put your faith in the lord because all mankind will let you down but the lord will not

this pretty good. Everybody wants to blame everything on race but to be honest race is still a huge issue today in the world BUT its on both sides. I gotta confess i blame shit on race sometimes but i can see things from the other side. great write

this is nice. i like it

I really like this. People dont realise racism works both ways. Also, the people screaming racist left, right and centre are just using it to hide behimd their own obvious faults. White on black, black on white and everything inbetween is just stupid. I think the whole world should sit down, shut uo and eat some cake!!!

Excellent
I can forgive the misspellings and the half-rhymes in places because it's original and very good - but I DO think the piece would benefit from a little grammatical attention.
Have the clap you old rapper!
