The problem with eyes


Why is it that eyes are so judgemental? 

why is it that they cannot see the person they are looking at? 

Instead they see a only what you hear. the eye does not know a new face, and has no idea about the new face's personality,

But because of things such as steriotypes and past experiences, the eye sees the new face as either a good o bad person,

The first three seconds you are looked at by strangers, your judged,

Is it wrong to wish the eye was color blind? We wouldn't be able to enjoy things like the sky or a colorful drawing,

He would be able to tell berries apart. bu we wouldn't be able to judge people based on there skin color either,

A world where a person would have to get to know a person before they can judge. where pople don avoid talking to you because of what color you are,

A place where people will call you American instead of black and white,

A world where  your color won't affect wether the police stop you, or if you get the job, and especially how others streat you.

The dream that people of all races can unit together and form one race: the human.
