The pot kettle phrase comes from this early poem, which I think has racist subtleties. Any poem with the words black, dirty, ugly, and crack in it have to be RACIST!!! A poem in an early-twentieth-century school textbook runs: Oho! said the pot to the kettle; You are dirty and ugly and black! Sure no one would think you were metal, Except when youre given a crack. Not so! not so! kettle said to the pot; Tis your own dirty image you see; For I am so clean – without blemish or blot –That your blackness is mirrored in me. —Maxwells Elementary Grammar, 1904
