No Black Indians in the Museum

As only America can do
the Indians appeared as colored shades of white
pure and uncontaminated

Is it possible that my ancestors changed their skin

while greasing their hair?

Did their pigment slide off after their bath?

Is it possible that their tales were a mirage
as they looked toward the Mason-Dixon Line
while marching West toward Nebraska?

Even the naked amazons were displayed in shorts

lest their brown pricks offend their host

No Black Indians blurred the surrender of Geronimo

in his favored place near the Great White Chief

America must be pure

Keep Blacks far from the History Show

lest the casinos remove their support
