I Didn’t Like Kanye Because I’m Subconsciously Racist

A poem

Kanye West

Is the best

If you try

To get by

Subconscious

Obnoxious

Racism

That’s placed in the

Minds of white

Not seeing the light.

We dismiss him

For ridiculum

And his statements

In public places

Omitting the chance

To jam and dance

When most of his tracks

Are far from whack.

Why are we

So proud of thee

To listen to white bands

Without giving Kanye a chance?

We lambast what he did

While ignoring the id

Of the Ted Nugents

And their nuisance

Yet they’re okay

To stay and play

But if they were black

We would think they were whack.
