THE SOPHISTICATED SKINHEAD
(by Lefifi Tladi)


We don't need
you here,
We can help you
out there
In your homeland
Go home nigger
We don't need you nigger

WELL!

The day you empty your
Ethnographic museums
And send our souls back
To our homeland
Then we will know
You are for real
Mother-fucker

I like this poem because it tells the truth.

So many people believe that racism is all right. It's not.

I like this poem because...

it addresses something (racism) that has become so institutionalized, rationalized and commercialized that the victims of it are joining in. I like it very much! Peace~

if the only hate that was dished out in this world was racially motivated,, we would have a jumping off point... look around you,, hate is an equal opportunity employer....

Paisley,
Not only racially motivated, but let's say it's discriminatory in some aspect. At least most of it. Retarded people hate. And I think racially/discrimination motivated hatred is one of the most inane things in the world.
