NBC Drowns Simone Manuel's Big Moment

CATEGORY

Views: 254

Simone Manuel made barrier crack
NBC put knife in her back
Didn't cover medal stand
Told us Talk To The Hand
This is just a big Phelps stack

BlackGirlMagic came out of nowhere
Gave old stereotypes a big stare
They gave her no shot
But she hit the jackpot
Yet the networks did not even care

Another Stanford alum of note
Was called a thug and a joke
Simone came through
Didn’t get her due
One more Black scholar handed their coat

This may be a teachable moment
Media was Simone’s opponent
Careful who you trust
Bones may be ground to dust
Only cash makes them your proponent

Was it something Simone said?
Had no hijab on her head
She gave inspiration
NBC exploits a poor nation
Hope they sleep well in their beds

 

Olympic darlings are pre-selected

All others get rejected

Including Simone Manuel

Her image won't sell

By Madison Ave she'll be neglected.

 

Black Olympic quota is filled

The other Simone fit that bill

Can't have two

Network run by Jews

Advertisers will run for the hills
