....help us work for that day when black will not be asked to give back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will embrace what is right."

its abought drugs
I sneak in my own house.
It's four in the morning
I've had too much to drink
Said i was out with the boys
I creep in my bedroom
I slip into bed,
I know if i wake her,
I'll wake up dead

Minorities can say anything and not be racist. Only middle aged, rich, white guys can be racist. :P

my favourite "is this racist" is this

in south park they had a competition to redesign the town falg as people felt it was racist

it was replaced by

Image

then they pointed out that the kids were so innocent that they didn't see a black man being hung be some white folk, they just saw a man being hung by other men and didnt pay attention to their colour


genius
