An American pejorative racial slur for white people

why don't old dese old honkaaays
put me on a donnkkaay
and send me back 'cross da sea.
dey say such mean thangs,
while wieldin' whips and chains,
and den dey beat on me.

Author notes

A honky is a white person, for all you sheltered people out there.
More verses to come.

    I'm actually one of those sheltered people who did not know what a honkey is. You learn something everyday I spose ;P.
    Anyways, this was an interesting addition to my contest although it's only one verse. Also I'm not a big music person, so I would've liked it better once I knew the melody I bet xD
    Anyways, thanks for entering and good luck.

    Interesting. My comment about the staff being .. a word I am apparently not at the liberty to use .. was deleted. Why was the other one removed? The world .. full of mysteries.

  • I think that is very politcally correct and brings attention to the plights of black slaves and their desperate wishes to return home as expressed through African-American spiritual.

    It also sings nicely in the shower.
    Den dey beaaaaaaaaaaaaat on meeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

    Madolyn, it seems as though your sarcastic tone was lost on those who have absolutely no comprehension of humor. I swear they have my site on some sort of twenty four hour mod watch. I have angered the Gods this past week, site ban is imminent!!!!!

  • lol, it was short and I am well aware what a honkey is, since I am one. Though ironically, many whites are unaware what a honkey even is... this was entertaining so thank you for the entry. It actually needs more length but this small portion does have meaning... ^^ well done!
