I'm Not A Racist, She Said Poem by Randy McClave

I'm not a racist she once said
As we sat together and broke bread,
Just because I am black and you are white
Doesn't mean that we can't enjoy our meal with delight.
For the umpteenth time again I will say
I will not date any caucasian anytime or any day,
I like you and other caucasians, but only as friends
And to that fact of mine I won't ever make amends.
I was taught to never date a white man
Even if he is kind and pleasant with a very dark tan,
My thoughts about dating your type will never deter
A white man over a black man I just do not prefer.
Though you have taken me out to eat
And you've loaned me money to help make ends meet,
I enjoyed it when we have went out to dine
Conversation with you was always uplifting and fine.
But, one thing I have screamed and have continuously shouted
Me dating you, or any white male is positively doubted,
I'm not a racist and caucasians I do not hate
But, a white man, I might use, but him I will not ever date.
