Elvis was a hero to most...

So when did it suddenly become okay again

For Europeans to imitate the voices of Africans?

We’re in a world where white liberals think racism is dead

Then sleep on privilege and rest their heads

Easy knowing they don’t see colour...

Even though they remember to call their black friends “brother”

And hit some handshake they had to practice in a mirror.

Songs some of them deliver

Breaking out in “Rastaman” mode and talking quick…

No thanks, I’ll listen to music that’s authentic.

Personally, I find this shit offensive,

Like comedians who give

Race jokes in the name of equality…

The camera flicks quick to the black guest to avoid controversy.

It’s just one big happy family,

Racism defined by white people happily

Using Caribbean and African actors in adverts

That pervert

The stereotypes to jovial images.

When did you last see such an advert that promoted serious

Portrayal, and not funny faces or mocking the Afro?

Just a sanitized version of the Black and White Minstrel Show.

Take it away Chuck D:

"Elvis was a hero to most

But he never meant shit to me..."
