Why is “and an attitude” and “and that nasty” crossed out?
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.
I think it suggests that all black women have attitudes and all hospital food is nasty.
And only one of those is true.
Doesnt it more so suggest people with bad teeth have an attitude?
We can figure this out. We just need a white-board and markers, maybe some lab coats and stethoscopes!
Pins and red string are also essential
I thought maybe (given the date) that they thought about the “attitude” the current president displayed, and realized they didn’t want that anymore.
Edit: Nevermind, it was written in 1992 apparently https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_want_a_president
Oh wow, good find
