Why Does Skin Color Make A Difference


You and I know that the white man has it easy.Work harder than one and see who gets the raise if you dont believe me.I'll get a higher degree and then we'll seeWho will get the job,Him or me?
The white man goes to Texas.The black man goes to Yale. Both of them are smart,But the black man still catches hell.
The white man goes to Georgia.The Hispanic goes to Harvard.Both have the same GPA,But they swear the white man is smarter.
Why does race have to matter in callege acceptance?Is it because we're not white and we simply just can't?Look at who is President.Living testamony that skin doesn't make a difference.
