Reverse Racism?

It's a term i read the other day  I thought What the fuck?
Well this poem may well upset a few people but who gives a shit?



I read a term today I understood it not
‘Reverse racism’ it I thought you fuckin'  what?’
There is either racism or there ain’t
Every black man ain’t a saint

Every white man’s not a closet racist
Not every bloke's a potential rapist
These trendy liberal terms so trite
Trotted out on News progs every night

A Black and Asian Police Officers’ Association?
How the hell is that good for the nation?
What if we had one labelled white?
Think of fans and tons of shite

I’ve aired these views once before
Ah you’re a racist you we deplore
Well, not I’m not
You clever snot

Seen racism red in tooth and claw
Rioters I’ve stood before
Holding black and brown apart
Praying that they wouldn’t start

And when the ugly day was done
Picked up bodies one by one
Black or brown the wounded and dead
And all their blood same colour, red

Little children burned alive
Just too late did help arrive
Dead because of their brown skin
Just because they weren’t their kin

Arm chair pundits make me sick
Jump to conclusions double quick
Platitudes pouring from feckless gobs
Smug self-satisfied liberal snobs

Don’t do nothing else but spout
Sign petitions that count for nowt
Slave labour made the shirts they wear
But the slogan’s right so they don’t care

OK folks rant over!
