You know, the Statue of Liberty is so 19th century.
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
I see the Golden Warrior from Massachusetts has seized the day and embraced not just her Native American roots, but her nonbinary African roots as well: Elizabeth Warren: ‘Black trans and cis women, gender-nonconforming and nonbinary people’ are the ‘backbone of our democracy.’
White males need not apply. So it looks like we’ll need to redo that poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty after all:
"Give me your black trans, cis women, gender-nonconforming and non binary people,
Your huddled asses yearning to take a pee,
The wretched ruse of your scheming civil war
Send these, the homeless, densest-dossed to me,
I lift my lamp to your golden whore!"
We’re probably going to need a new Lady Liberty as well. Someone more enlightened, more 21st century; someone a little more, well, black. And tranny.**
So thanks Lizzy, for focusing us on what’s really important in America today: the war between the sexes, no matter how you count them. I guess once you’ve been woke you will never be dossed again.
Or as Glenn Reynolds so succinctly put it: OK BOOMER!
