Not Black Enough

Written by C Hues

You say Harris isn’t really black
Gee, ever heard of the one drop rule?
And this fabrication is your best attack?
Plus, it’s not like she went to a historically black school
But truthful Trump thinks that’s just not enough
You’ll tell her how she identifies
And make false claims and act tough
But here’s some facts to combat your lies:
Most African Americans are genetically mixed
So, your Truth Social isn’t so true
But what can we expect from a fool who said the election was fixed
Still waiting for that red wave to turn blue
If Kamala was a convicted felon and sexual abuser
Would you say she’s black then, Trump, you lying loser?
You wanted to tone down the rhetoric and bring us together
Sure, the day fossil fuels and fracking cools down the weather.
