How Dare You

Evergreen cashes diversity checks
But doesn’t give a **** about Blacks
You got a lot of nerve, George
Actin’ like a savior—
Everybody knows it’s all an act

You say you care about us
Then turn around and gouge us
Forcing every student into debt
You promise education
At the cost of liberation
Cause you know we are a threat

How dare you Georgie Porgie
You’re nothing but a bow-tied predatory fogy spouting
Masturbatory oratory
Pseudo-non-discriminatory
Another progressive butt boy
Of this neoliberal purgatory

Spewing dank platitudes
Seducing students into servitude
Silencing voices whiteness deems too crude
How dare you stand there blubbering like a fool

GB: Thank you, thank you for that…
I hear your frustration
And I’m filled with anger too
That liberation‘s
Been denied to ppl like you
By the formation
Centuries ago
Of colonization,
Slavery, Jim Crow
And so
You know
It’s slow
‘Cause change can’t happen over night
Long is the fight, heavy’s plight
And we are gathered here today
To do The Work of reversing hate
Don’t take it from me, I’m just a white man
I’m stepping aside for the Equity Plan
But I promise your concerns are heard, sir—
Or is it ma’am?

AR:

How dare you coercively
Misgender me, dismembering
My bodily autonomy to live as an anomaly
Free from the dichotomy of binary taxonomies

You liberals are all the same
Proto-fascist in all but name
Using compassion to equivocate blame
How dare Georgie, have you any shame!

GB:

Yes, I’ve much to learn
And your concerns
They will be heeded
And all can see
How urgently
Equity’s needed
We’ve work to do
Til our canoe
Is unimpeded
By systems fraught
By racist thought
That’s so deep-seated
That to defeat it
We need to cement
Complete agreement
Now I call on Felix to tell us how:
