“I’m the least racist President you’ve seen in a long time.”
*
He said that as he defended
amplifying that horrid video.
You know the one I mean.
*
Blamed it on an intern,
quick to throw an unnamed scapegoat
under the bus.
*
“I’m the least racist President you’ve seen in a long time.”
*
This from a man who walked down
his gilded staircase
and called Mexicans thugs and rapists,
*
giving the weak-minded
permission to speak their own
awful thoughts into existence.
*
“I’m the least racist President you’ve seen in a long time,”
*
said the man who has created
his own little sect of brownshirts,
hiding behind masks and badges,
*
while they terrorize peaceful communities,
stalk immigration hearing courts,
and disappear entire families into detention centers.
*
“I’m the least racist President you’ve seen in a long time.”
*
Is he, really? Do not racist actions
belie racist beliefs? Is the proof
not visible to your own eyes?
*
And if you turn away from it all
because it does not affect you –
then what does that make you?
