Racism isn't funny

 

Discrimination isn't a joke

 

Prejudice isn't a hobbie

 

It hurts you

 

It tears you apart

 

It breaks your heart

 

Why are you racist towards me?

 

Because of where I come from?

 

Because of where my parents came from?

 

Because of my culture?

 

 

Why are you so hateful?

 

Don't you have anything better to do?

 

Is this what you call life?

 

You're repulsive.

 

 

You think it's hilarious?

 

How people die crossing the border?

 

How people get raped crossing the border?

 

How people get caught crossing the border?

 

 

Why are you so judgemental?

 

Why are you so cynical?

 

Why are you so awful?

 

 

You're narrow minded

 

You're unjust

 

You're biased

 

You're unscrupulous

 

 

 

Do You think it's comical?

 

Do You think slavery is comical?

 

Do You think being whipped is comical?

 

Do You think segregation is comical?

 

 

Do You think being called a "Jap" is amusing?

 

Do You think being called a "Dirty Jew" is entertaining?

 

Do You think being called a "Red Skin" is humorous?

 

Do You think being called a "Beaner" is hysterical?

 

Do You think being called a "Mehican" is laughable?

 

Do You think being called the "N" word is witty?

 

 

Yes?

No?

 

If 'Yes'  

 

Good luck in life my friend.

 

 

If 'No'

 

Why do do it?
