Black Face

“Oh no, Netflix! Not again!
Disney follows latest trend.
My favorite character was white,
Now they look just like the night.

I’ll boycott you, just you wait!
Internet just needs more HATE!
I just love how you all pander.
Ignorance is the right answer.”

Thinly veiled racism rules.
You couldn’t see a black face long ago,
But still saw blackface in your show.
You’re tired of these newfound rules.

You say they’re just an empty gesture
To get blacks—cause you know better.
To get women, minorities too—
Detective, get a fuckin’ clue.

In Wanted, when they flipped Fox—
You ain’t say shit on that.
Just keep watching that crap from FOX.
For you, I’m sure they’ll go to bat.

The Lone Ranger stole from Bass.
Indians, Egyptians—played by whites.
All that time, where was your sass?
If it were up to you—we’d have no rights.
