This is Ridiculous


This is ridiculous.

Discrimination is all but gone

yet people still seek it,

conjure it up in their minds

spurred on by society.

Zimmerman was innocent,

cops didn't want to charge him

but they said it was a hate crime,

the whites keeping the black race down

Yet Zimmerman is Peruvian.

They created a problem,

hate where there was none.

They are,

so scared of coming off as racist,

so caught up on political correctness

they'll crumble an empire

over false pretenses.
