• Poem: Don’t dip in the antiracist pool

  

  Hmmm… come to think about it. Modern-day antiracist thought is not so refreshing. Definitely not enticing like a pool. Don’t dip in the antiracist pool! It’s not inviting at all, cold and toxic as hell and too shallow — though still at a level where one can drown. The pool kids —themselves shallow— crowd the…
