I cannot help but think why color even mattered in the first place
Close your eyes and we are all the same
The same human race
My heart beats, your heart beats
Yet we choose to classify as these infamous white or black facades
But what is color?
Scientifically it is a reflection of light
But color comes from the heart of people not a reflection in eyes
We choose to claim it as a mere facade on a body of bones
But I am not a color
I am not a facade
I am a Human being
