"RACISM"


“RACISM”

When you look at me what do you see? I’m of a different shade, but bleed the same color that others bleed. My heart beats just like yours do, but you just seeing my shade of color, true? Does it matter if I’m a shade darker than you? I hope not, but if so don’t look at my shade of color, but look at who I am, and not what I am, for my color is just what it is color.
