They consume hot dogs

Too

Like you

But they don’t eat dogs

Never, ever

They do not eat cats

They do not eat pets

Never, never.

 

Immigrants eat wild boars, wild hogs

That’s hot Griot

They don’t eat rabbits

But they eat spicy Tassot

And of course, they eat hot dogs.

 

Haitians eat and drink Soup Joumou

Which contains vegetables and of course carrots

Haitian food

Is very, very good

Immigrants consume good meats

Like you.

 

Stop being racist

Stop being supremacist

Years ago, your ancestors used to eat dogs

Not immigrants, not West Indians

Not Haitians

Quit the hate

Think about your fate

On the final date

Immigrants eat fried wild hogs

Like zillion of Americans

Who love apple pies

Stop the lies, stop all the lies.
