Have you read the other verses? It gets worse

Wow, it’s genuinely awful. Never read the entire original poem, but that’s disgusting, Key should have quit while he was ahead with the first verse.

Looking it up- holy shit, you're right. And naturally the author was a slave-owner, an anti-abolitionist lawyer, and noted racist, which isn't particularly surprising when one reads the third verse onwards
