Keyboard Klansmen

You misspell “monkee”,
As you watch “black” and “white” mix.
Insult your fetish.

Simone scores high as she soars
Inspiring more as she wins the floors
Putting mental health first doesn’t mean you quit
But what would Vance know about that shit

She put her teammates first last time
And she’s victorious now, even past her prime
She stands taller than all her competition
As she wins gold again, with a heart to match her mission.

Not Black Enough

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.
