Cancel The Race Race

Brown cola
Hailed today by the NAACP
Hauled in Harlem
Drunk in Watts White milk is racist.

Black coffee, colored walls, straight bourbon.
Say no to coffee cream
Eschew Navajo white
Boycott Seven-and-Seven
Kill the zebra.

Michigan judges affirmative action
Reversing a black wrong?
Opposed by the white house
Swarmed by colorblind wanna bees

Forget Lincoln's War where all colors died
Or so we thought
NAAWP is impossible, for white is a crime
Who dreams WET, White Entertainment Television?
Smear the Lott for a lark.
Spray a black flag.

We've no need for a w-word
As majority rules not minorities
But one majority
Cancel the race race and hail me a human.
