Assumed they were free to revert, I suppose,
To a time when bigotry reigned
With their ringleader gone, there's nowhere to hide;
No way to defend the hatred inside,
Now their reputation's stained
How proud they all are, as their venom flies
No compassion, remorse, nor care in their eyes
Until, of course, they are caught
And face the wrath of internet trolls
Whose dragging and doxxing of sin-sick souls
Has been elevated to an art
Awkward apologies; crocodile tears
Lies and excuses can't make up for years
Of arrogance, ignorance, and pride
And there's no comparing the hurt and pain
Of racial oppression to internet fame
And now, there's nowhere to hide
Some double down; some lawyer up
When their racist deeds come to light
Some show remorse (for the cameras, of course)
Self-awareness is nowhere in sight
What IS quite apparent, in each newly-crowned Karen
Is that bigotry’s still being taught
And until there’s a change
Conflict remains
Not the peace
For which so many fought
