Most news outlets won’t print the rant:
Some may want to but feel they can’t
Because --- I would imagine --- on the basis
Of repeating it would make them look racist.
But sometimes dashes or a few dots
Do other damage. Not a little, lots,
Because they tame the slur (perhaps not their intent)
Rendering it not nearly as bad as it was surely meant.
Some of you may now want to cover any children’s ears.
Here’s the frat chant that’s been chanted for many years:
“There will never be a nigger SAE
There will never be a nigger SAE
You can hang ‘em from a tree, but it will never start with me
There will never be a nigger SAE.”
To many people, I hope that these words will cause much dismay
And they’ll now stop saying there’s no racism in the USA today.
