Wannabe Victims



Why start the racism war?
Do you just think itl get you more?
We housed you,
Fed and clothed you too,
Only to be under attack,
Hair braids only for the black?
Well if thats the case,
Irelands our place,
So is the tin whistle,
Keep your rap fo shizzle,
But on st patricks day you cannot play,
No more guiness stew,
Mashed potatoes too,
You cant hear our stories of old or sing songs of our bold,
Will you blush to discover?
Halloween is another,
Irish "cultural appropriation"
So forget celebrating,
You want priority treatment,
But in your country would we see a hint?
If you scream racism at me,
Its time for a slap of reality.

About this poem

Where does all this racism end? You cant be racist against one group of people and expect no retaliation? or have i.qs dropped so much that the people pushing this woke nonsense cant see where all this madness will lead? So much nonsense in the world. What happened in the U.S doesnt work here. We have our own history of white slavery and black and white slavers from the barberry pirates, african and arab slavers ships raiding our coasts to the vikings to the british. So all this "im a victim cuz of my skin colour" or "you cant do whatever because of yours" isnt going to wash.
