minus-squareLena@gregtech.eulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·5 个月前Why is “and an attitude” and “and that nasty” crossed out?
minus-squareapftwb@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·5 个月前I think it just doesn’t flow with the rest of the poem. We currently have a president with an attitude and its not great. Also “that nasty hospital food” tonally just don’t feel like it fits IMO.
minus-squareEh-I@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12arrow-down1·5 个月前I think it suggests that all black women have attitudes and all hospital food is nasty. And only one of those is true.

Edit: Nevermind, it was written in 1992 apparently https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_want_a_president
