The In The Closet Racists

The in the closet racists are functioning slyly And ubiquitously at every level of our society They are the janitors of the schools They are the superintendents of the system They are the athletes who swim in the pools They are the cops who patrol the streets They are the co-workers who work overtime They are the people strolling in the parks They are the ladies who smile all the time They are the pilots at the airport They are the treasurers who collect the taxes They are the sailors at the old port They are the teachers at the labs They are the bosses of countless major corporations They are the old ladies at the nursing rooms They are the attendants at the gas station They are the doctors who misdiagnosed the patients They are the neighbors who borrow the brooms They are the jewelers at the stores They are the speakers at the seminars They are the deacons who serve in the mega-church They are the agencies that tease job seekers They are the pastors who love kisses and hugs They are the blue or white collar workers at the malls The in closets racists are as sneaky and crazy as wild dogs.
