One candidate’s father was not born in America
He came here and got on welfare even scarier
His religion is different not Christian like the tradition
Plus he went to Harvard for law and business now listen
This might shock you so I’m gonna say it calmly
That candidates name is Mitt Romney
But out of his own mouth he was first to mention it
Nobody ever asked to see his birth certificate
Now is this just coincidence?
Or is because of what the color of his pigment is
Is this a incident of benefit
Cause of the skin he’s in he automatically a citizen
Even though his father was a Mexican immigrant
Who was once a part of those 47 percentages
A lesson to the ignorant this place that we’re living in
Your race can be a privilege, point blank period
Now go vote
An urgent fundraising appeal: 8 Days to raise $43,000
Thank you for reading Truthout today. We have a brief message before you go —
Unfortunately, donations are down for Truthout at a time when media is under immense pressure. Trump is arresting journalists, Big Tech is censoring independent news, and economic conditions for media have been worsening for years.
Simultaneously, movement media is vital in the fight against Trump’s authoritarian reign. Our mandate to tell the truth, share strategies for resistance, and speak against fascism is ever more urgent in this deluge of political censorship. Yet, we are struggling to meet our publishing costs when our work is so urgently needed.
If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Please give today during our fundraiser (8 days left).
