Modern Cults, Part III
You see the ones obsessed with race,
these days they’re as common as fleas,
convincing themselves that pigment
makes you all that you’ll ever be.
That something as dumb as color
defines the person you become,
that your morals are due to skin,
determines good and evil ones,
that color A is oppressive,
should feel bad because they exist,
while B and C cannot be wrong,
seriously, how racist is this?
They do the same things Jim Crow did,
wanting separate spots for each ‘race,’
this cult brought back segregation,
just swapping who is in what place,
the evil still remains the same,
and when their racism is called
they claim that you’re the racist one
for wanting one standard for all!
Point out that culture and worldview
are what truly affect a man,
they’ll claim culture is tied to race,
then revel in claiming they’re damned.
Point out that eye or hair color
does not determine what’s within,
they’ll ignore the clear parallel,
insist that it’s different with skin.
Point out there’s no such thing as race,
that most black people are part white,
that they’re own damned criteria
does not hold up at merest sight,
and they’ll bring back the One-Drop Rule
to put you where they want you to be,
then assign sin based on that fact
as if you don’t have will that’s free.
All to hide from their own failings,
racism seems less difficult,
they spit on Martin Luther King,
this execrable C.R.T. cult.
CONCLUDES IN PART IV.
