Buzz Kill

Buzz Kill

Time to bludgeon those past prejudices
which have finally outlived their usefulness

Bigotry is not a good look anymore

It lacks the legitimacy it had before

Though we continue to deal with lingering ignorance
cause too many still harbor ancient tribal bullshit
but this does not mean we need be part of it

Hello Steve...

Is that the KKK?

Is Biden in that picture somewhere or in another one?

I'll see if I can find him in a photo without the face covering...

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

Not here to start an online argument, free to have our opinions. But I disagree. Just a note ;)

Hi... I had no idea this little poem denouncing prejudice would be controversial, but I always welcome contrary opinions and/or interpretations

Sorry Steve, disagreed with Sparrow not yourself! Poems are open to interpretation is what I say. Kudos! TFOTS

Hi Sparrow,,,

This picture is a KKK march in Washington DC from the 1920's...  As troubling as racism and bigotry is today it was much more prevalent and out in the open back then,,,, I know Biden is very old, but I'm pretty sure he was not in this hate parade ;)

One of the problems with "gotcha" politics today is the intolerance with allowing people to change their views over the years... Robert Byrd did eventually manage to evolve and rise above the racial prejudices of his West Virginia past. For that matter, Biden views on race are considerably different then they were 40 years ago.. People should be allowed the opportunity to grow
