Happy Birthday, Woody Guthrie!

Woody wrote down his thoughts about his segregationist landlord in 1950:

I suppose that Old Man Trump knows just how much racial hate
He stirred up in that bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed that color line
Here at his Beach Haven family project

Beach Haven ain't my home!
No, I just can't pay this rent!
My money's down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!

I'm calling out my welcome to you and your man both
Welcoming you here to Beach Haven
To love in any way you please and to have some kind of a decent place
To have your kids raised up in.

Beach Haven ain't my home!
No, I just can't pay this rent!
My money's down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!​

Woody wrote a song about the president when Donald was only 4 years old?
 
The musical genius John Coltrane was churning some of the most sophisticated solos in music history in the late 50's. and this ridiculous douchebag Woody Guthrie was whining about being mistreated. Guthrie not only sucked on guitar, he could not sing to save his life just his yiddish kin Bob Dylan.
