BARACK DRAGS THE DONALD AS UNFIT FOR POTUS

What The Trump Effect Means

Trump claimed system was rigged
Today Donald's dancing a jig
Electoral College a boon
He spoke too soon
Complaints go away when U win big

What Trump means to People of Color
They'll continue to be Othered
Fight like angry mobs 
Over ty jobs
While his buddies get their druthers

Trump to continue rallies as POTUS
Something we all should notice
Should be about work
He's a full-time jerk
With his stripper wife as FLOTUS

Anti-Trump protests are telling
Not sure his message is selling
People took to the street
Refuse to be beat
Something about this guy is smelling

HBCU's Are On The Rise

Black Colleges making a surge
New brand of scholar has emerged
As news headlines scare
Kids become socially aware
Protest activity gives them the urge

HBCU's are a space in the nation
Where Black students don't feel isolation
They Feel they can win
Comfortable in their skin
Not on the margins of good conversations

A few people have already said it
Folks are giving the Trumpster some credit
His hate on display
Put Black classrooms in play
Helped to show that our schools still have merit

Robust recruitment plans helped a lot
Students flocking to fill open slots
Enhanced outreach of sorts
Help them to court
Kids who used to give Black schools no shot

Like Maya Angelou advised
HBCUs can say "Still I Rise"
Other cultures have at least one
Brandeis and Brigham Young

Flint Pastor Deserved Better Than Trump

Flint pastor broke into Trump's speech
It was deemed to be overreach
Her people aren't fodder
The focus is water
Don't need a political leech

Trump called Flint pastor "Nervous Mess"
The man's in real need of redress
Has a lot to answer for
Peeps should've showed him the door
But the pastor told them to de-stress

This was supposed to be Black Outreach
Flint became a moment to teach
Pastor extended trust
Trump tossed her under the bus
Stranded her like a whale on the beach

Some say the pastor should have known
Mexico showed us to leave Trump alone
Their POTUS made eye contact
Trump stabbed him right in the back
Mexican President got hisowned

Flint surely did better than Detroit
They did not allow Trump to exploit
Water supply was dire
Held his feet to the fire

Trump Took His Lumps in Flint

Flint pastor broke into Trump's speech
Words were deemed to be overreach
Her people aren't fodder
The focus is water
Don't need a political leech

Don started to shade Hillary
Assumed that's the way it should be
Pastor gave finger wag
Did not want to nag
But warned Trump that this ain't DC

Crowd started to go in on him
Their patience was wearing thin
Asked Don about Birther
Not allowed to go further
Rescued from the wrath of Flint

This is the first time that we know
Trump addressed Blacks he didn't control
They weren't shrinking violets
Refused to be quiet
Or follow him down rabbit hole

Don had whole lot to answer for
Rarely met Blacks on their own shore
Trump promised jobs
With a wink and a nod
Sold that same line to Mexican labor

So Donald ...

North Carolina is the New South Africa

North Carolina is the new South Africa
You would think it wasn't America
Fewer early vote ops
Sunday polls stopped
Easier to understand Chewbacca

The state is engaged in point-shaving
Keeps you distracted with all the flag waving
Repub-led state boards
Screwed us like whores
Want to take us back to days of slaving

Repubs can't expand their tent
Voter laws left minorities bent
They claim it saves cash
Spent 5 mil defending this trash
Hate Obama made really big dent

NC will pay a Stupidity Tax
ACC knocked them on their back
No title games
Repubs takes the blame
Business owners will take a sack

Carolina cash flies away like a bird
Their Lawmakers? We have no words
NC loss - others gain 
A fart from the brain
Legislative body just laid a big turd

North Carolina Still Doesn't Get It

Carolina found itself in a stew
In a big bind over HB2
Political third rail
Legislators have failed
Bad choices affect more than a few

Millions of dollars at stake
Sports revenues they won't take
Their loss, someone's gain
How much pain
Will they take before pumping the brakes

What exactly is their alibi?
They must know that this won't fly
Hard head - soft behind
Out of their minds
Allowing cash to go bye-bye

NC spokesman mentioned Baylor rape
Looking for a goat to scape
Where was she
When those women agreed
To go after the NCAA

Law was signed by Gov Pat McCrory
So what pray tell is his story?
Best get on his motor
Listen to voters
His career will not end in glory

Eric Garner Gets Choked Out Again

NYPD must surely be crazed
Eric Garner's killer got a raise
Man who filmed him
Is locked up in prison
That is how good deeds R paid

We can't believe it's been 2 years
But cop in question has no fears
He's on desk duty
Paid out the booty
While Eric's memory gets smeared

Ramsey Orta who filmed the choke hold
Has had his liberty stole
Looks like a frame
Anyone with a brain
Can smell a set-up big and bold

Poor Orta was not treated just
Jailed and thrown under the bus
Evidence not ample
Cops made example
Cautionary tale a warning to us

Garner"s last words "I Can't breathe"
Haunts his family and leaves us to grieve
Ruled a homicide
Cops must have lied
To make a grand jury believe

We have been here a few times before
History opene...

The Useful Negro: Volume III (Li'l Wayne)

Li'l Wayne says racism no longer stands
Please recall he's a tool of the man
Promotes bad behavior
Dude's hardly a savior
Could be a white guy with a tan

Know that Weezy's a Useful Negro
To him, Black Queens can only be ho's
Find him without drugs?
Or denouncing black thugs?
You'll have much better luck Finding Nemo

Wayne believes we are Post-Racial
Tho' race relations remain quite glacial
His days are sunny
Because he has money
Never had a billy club facial
(Though it looks like he has)

Weezy is their two-for-one
Kept in the mix for cash and fun
Maintains sales hype
Perpetuates stereotypes
Everyday Blacks get no time in the sun

To Wayne, race is no millennial tool
Like their parents went thru different school
He looks like a goblin
Whites would be scared ...

The Legacy of Uhura

Don't like Star Trek, but love Uhura
She never left us in a furor
Almost quit show
MLK let her know
Blacks tuned in to see her for Shura

Uhura made history with "The Kiss"
Show execs were highly pissed
Censors watched in horror
Backed into a corner
Lucky Star Trek wasn't dismissed

Before Nichelle’s ground-breaking role
Sang in big bands; truth be told
Performed with Duke Ellington
And Lionel Hampton
Our girl wasn’t a one-trick soul

Nichelle’s character was a game-change
Showed Blacks really had range
No typecast played
Our queen was no maid
And nothing about it looked strange

Uhura influenced career plans
Such as astronaut Mae Jemison
Star Trek gave Mae feeling
She could break the ceiling
Upon Nichelle’s shoulders she stands

GOP Doesn't Care About Benghazi

GOP pretends 2 care about #Benghazi
Pursue Hillary like Paparazzi 
If no run 4 POTUS
They wouldn't notice
But now they treat her like a Nazi

Conservs constantly on Hillary's rump
All because they don't care for Trump 
Hillary won't move on
They're stuck with Don
Tea Party wish they both could be dumped

GOP seems so concerned about email
Looking for any way to make Hillary fail
Spent 7 million clams
Door got slammed
In their faces - not one soul went to jail

FBI assigned to check Email-Gate
Conservs pushed them up to the plate
Found no wrong-doing
GOP was boo-hooing
Feds accused of not playing it straight

This just may be a political first
Two losers who are the flat worst
Both are really dull
Such high Unfavorables
Seems like we have really been cursed
