What White Male Privilege
Gets you in 2016 America
by FrenchieCat

You can run for President
walking around at 75,
screaming Political Revolution,
with a heavy Brooklyn accent.

Hailing from a small blue state,
promising to raise your taxes,
and re-fight the healthcare battle,
even though this one's not done.

Pushing 30 trillion in spending,
and that's just for early starters,
with no FP bonafide besides a vote,
in a time of global terror,
while appearing disheveled,
waving hands around.

Having a family history
that's quite complicated,
and being non religious
(even if he was born Jewish)
and not being the slightest worried
how that might go down.

With only a BA in Political science,
and Socialist affiliations
promises to redistribute the wealth,
with documented speeches orating
to turn capitalism upside down.

Promising everybody Free everything,
knowing damn well Congress' gerrymandered
to stay that way for years to come,
without an actual answer to HOW
any of it will get done!

Have some folks truly believing
he can win many Primaries
to go on to the general election
and beat the other running
to become the President!

So I disagree with the premise
that White males are suffering,
because all one needs to have going on,
is White Skin, male parts, and a microphone.

3. Yep....that's how it started.

I'm not poetic per se at all! That's why I've got so many edits....
cause I'm refining it as I read it!

But those kind of threads moved me to it!

4. Redistributing the weatlh.

Let's keep it funneling up, because that's not redistributing. If your Rush Limbaugh. Cry^st the right wing seep is rancid.
