When there were not enough Native Americans left to do our dirty work
We kidnapped and enslaved you.
While you were of no threat to us as you were previously living in another country
Once here we fed you the minimal amount.
We treated you as sub-human because of the color of your skin
Without giving a second thought as to how we would feel if the tables were turned.
The "Seperate but Equal" was seperate but by no means equal.
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assinated for non-violently protesting discrimination.
Worst of all despite the passage of so much time
There is still so much racism and sexism today.
Imagine how much further we would be as a society if we could all just work together
