The Deacon; California Eagle, February 21, 1930
If you have political ambition To fill a leaders place, Then advocate separate schools, And segregation of the Negro race. Stand up and tell the public That colored children are unfit, To join with other children, In a public benefit. Then you are on the road, To receive great public applause, From those who may desire To change the segregation laws. The black advocates of segregation, Are a sly and foxy groupe [sic]; They wear the mask of hypocricy [sic]; To deception they freely stoop. Some of our leaders, Demand Jim Crow Public [sic] schools; And secretly demand segregation In the public swimming pools. If these Jim Crow Negro leaders, Suffering with dysentery of the mouth; [sic] Are lonesome without segregation They should return to the South. Return to the sunny southland, With their Uncle Tom devotions, Their inferiority complex minds, And segregation notions. Lord, purge our race of hypocrites And set our vision straight; Free our minds of prejudice, Deceit, suspicion and hate.
