Crt Poems | Examples

A complicated issue may often be better understood 
By breaking it down into a few undeniable facts. 
This is especially helpful with comprehending 
An issue that is new, or unfamiliar.
For example:
Thomas Jefferson was a famous American,
A man of many accomplishments. 
He was a scholar, a scientist, 
An inventor, an author, 
A musician, a statesman, 
A president, and a plantation owner. 
As a plantation owner, 
He was also a racist, 
A slave owner,
And a rapist 
Who exploited the labor
Of fellow human beings 
For his own profit. 
That is all verifiable history. 
It’s as simple as that. 
Let the truth be told. 
That’s critical race theory.

Representation Is Crap, Part Ii

...Even when I look to the past
the implications echo strong,
I used to like Frederick Douglas,
now I realize that I was wrong.
Old Fred was much darker than me,
so I cannot empathize with him,
5o think that he was a hero…
me, a pale man—oh, such a sin!
If the smartest say we can only
feel safe with those who look like us,
than maybe I must reconsider
the whole of the northern state’s cause.
After all, didn’t the greybacks
fight for people who looked like me?
If my heroes must reflect my face
then hooray Confederacy!
Now growing up I once believed
that a person is what’s inside,
that the world’s a tough, brutal place,
never gives out an easy ride.
I was taught to cheer for people
who pushed on despite all of this,
who sought to do right, be moral,
when they found themselves deep in the sh-t,
that such things spoke to a person,
more than pigment ever could,
regardless of sex, age, background,
we instinctively cheered for the good.
But C.R.T. says otherwise,
and professors claim they have ‘facts,’
Is it possible they all are wrong?
And that representation is crap?

Yes. Yes it is.

Premium Member The Evils of Crt


They sat home ordering luscious pizza.
Some just drank cold beer or snorted pot.
Nothing was “ really” going to happen!
As they rode unicorns, this lost, hapless lot.

Stoned efficaciously, by the likes of CNN.
America haters, all, each last one of them.
And we citizens buy their “merde”daily.
Will grovel on the earth, cracking jokes
about the future.
Have you forgotten Hitler or Stalin?
Read their writings and on films is their
inhumanity to man.

This CRT is just the beginning...
To apologize for your color and past!
Insane beyond words is such thinking.
Endorsed by the so called “educated”?

A skull and  crossbones, no free thought
allowed!
Shining, screaming, unfurled, on their most
disgusting mast!
Bow to the ground, you of wrong color and 
confess, you are America’s most evil past.

                  No, not for any contest!!!
