Today, the U.S. Supreme Court banned using race as a consideration in college admissions. I’d like to take them to school with this poem:<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Buy Colorblind Just U.S.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The people have been herd
\nIt has been dictated
\nIn black and white
\nThough technically
\nOverwhelmingly white
\nThat we should be led
\nBuy the colorblind
\nAnd served by many pages
\nBequeathing an other great hit
\nThe Supremes
\nThe lesser group
\nThat is
\nIn this case
\nChief just us Robbers
\nAffirmatively assigned
\nNo doubting Thomas
\nHanding him
\nSuch portending scrip
\nInstructing U.S.
\nThat wee should be schooled
\nWhere ever might be
\nOr at least be longing
\nIn our place
\nAnd what does
\nThis mean
\nRed, White, and Blue unquestioned
\nNow deferred too
\nAs White, White, and White
\nThe law firm
\nOf the future
\nAnd the passed
\nAssuming the roll
\nOf just
\nAn other ruling
\nOr aught
\nWee go
\nOwed school
\nOn these national arrears
\nA parent debt
\nWhiting out our dreams
\nNo deference
\nBetween black ink
\nAnd red ink
\nJust Inc.
\nWell
\nDon\u2019t be prized
\nIf we are caught
\nShort
\nFore inclusivity
\nNever the less
\nMay a youthful age soon peer
\nAs we open our pupils
\nTo more than on the money
\n\u201ce pluribus unum\u201d
\nLess emoji
\nAnd more umoja<\/p>\n

Note to white folks: “umoja” is Swahili for “unity”. Umoja is the first of the seven principles of Kwaanza<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
