By: Cedric McClester Is it playing the race card If the deck is stacked And everything you state Is an established fact Michelle opened up And almost got wacked So we weren’t surprised When she was attacked Is it playing the race card When you acknowledge Certain social realities Rarely taught in college Or should all banalities Suddenly be abolished Because someone’s ego Needs to be polished Is it playing the race card If you’re in a rut And the cards you were dealt Are all that you’ve got Don’t preface your answer With the usual but Causing me to say Tut tut tut Is it playing the race card Though politically incorrect When it’s the only thing you have What would you expect It doesn’t require A tremendous intellect If you take pause To stop and reflect Cedric McClester © Copyright 2015.  All rights reserved.

PLAYING THE RACE CARD
By: Cedric McClester Is it playing the race card If the deck is stacked And everything you state Is an established fact Michelle opened up And almost got wacked So we weren’t surprised When she was attacked Is it playing the race card When you acknowledge Certain social realities Rarely taught in college Or should all banalities Suddenly be abolished Because someone’s ego Needs to be polished Is it playing the race card If you’re in a rut And the cards you were dealt Are all that you’ve got Don’t preface your answer With the usual but Causing me to say Tut tut tut Is it playing the race card Though politically incorrect When it’s the only thing you have What would you expect It doesn’t require A tremendous intellect If you take pause To stop and reflect Cedric McClester © Copyright 2015.  All rights reserved.
The Race Card was inspired by the push back one gets from the politically correct crowd whenever race is mentioned, whether it's a factor or not.
