Bones might be a prostitute,
he might be this,
and he might be that.  

However one thing Bones knows
he’s not is a stupid bigot.  

One of those creepy worms,
slipping around in the underbelly
of societies slime,
disparaging their fellow men
and women
because of the color of their skin,
their religion,
or where they came  from.  

Most of the people
that took advantage
of his poverty to hurt him
were bigots too.  

That’s just the way bigots behave,
they think they’re better than God.

Bobby

"Bigot" and "Bones" are not synonymous, to be sure!

I'm with Bones on his dislike of bigots!

Thanks dear Linda,

You are correct.  Wisely, Bones will take anyones money.  It's the only way to be.

James,

You bring up an interesting point.  If I said I hated bigots, then that would make me a bigot too, wouldn't it.

No, I have loved some bigots, such as my father.  I have tried to understand them, and loved them anyway.

Let's just say I don't like bigotry, I disapprove of it.

My own close family includes all three major races of man.

Bigotry and ignorance go hand in hand
And I don't like bigotry either.

Thanks LindsayP,

No, bigotry is no good, and once again, as Bones would say--"There's no money in it."
