freckled human nature
Your family situation is similar to mine.
The song you posted reminded me of two others, not explicitly about racism but close.
Cumming's "The Cambridge Ladies" and this:
401
What Soft—Cherubic Creatures—
These Gentlewomen are—
One would as soon assault a Plush—
Or violate a Star—
Such Dimity Convictions—
A Horror so refined
Of freckled Human Nature—
Of Deity—ashamed—
It's such a common—Glory—
A Fisherman's—Degree—
Redemption—Brittle Lady—
Be so—ashamed of Thee—
Emily Dickinson
