Happy white smile

by durhamboy

(I look past this stupid place the gangs,violence,and racism that sweeps the streets but i cant say that here ohh no because for a white person to say that is blasphemy i dont wish upon anyone to live here not even my worst enemies but all I know if i stay here it will be the end of me so I'm looking past this place to bigger things fame,and glory is all i see an then one day i will be able to say "Durham,man that's where I use to be )

I like it its short, simple && to the point . . . gangs, violence and racism are some big issues today && I don't know why people make race such a big issue just because you white or a certain race you cant say certain thing omg are you serious it is what it is the truth is the truth && everybody has the right to speak it.
