Long before the culture wars
Life was calmer on these shores
Instead of magnifying 'racism'
We telescoped 'outer-spacism'
Back then we knew the world wasn't perfect
So many pock-marks of abject neglect
Troubling tendencies oft left unchecked
Defects that we had to correct
Yet it sure seems toxic to label folks 'racist'
Just makes things worse; not to our benefice
So why don't we think like incrementalists
~ Call our affliction 'racial prejudice'
