RACISM

White skin,

Hazel eyes,

Brown Hair,

What race am I?

Brown skin,

Brown eyes,

Brown Hair,

What race am I?

We judge based on appearances.

Just because I have light skin, doesnt mean I am not the same as you.

Just because you have dark skin, doesnt mean that you are not the same as me.

Did our ancestors lay on the same ground?

Do we share the same air?

What is different about the two of us?

Now, tell me, why do you hate me?
