Headline Rhymes

A person’s a person, no matter how small
And a hate hoax is a hate crime, are they different at all?

And a professional victim would rather tell a lie

Than let it die

Views on the news, delivered so smooth.

This week’s inspired by the sad story of Jussie Smollett. Some discussion on racism: 

Racism and Underdetermination by Evidence

The Racism Treadmill
