Racial Hate (Free verse) by Glasseyez

Black or white and red all over Blood is red and knows no color Skin black or white or yellow, brown This liquid always finds the ground Race is only skin deep so why is it that we Use it to judge each and every person we meet Blood has one color and our hearts do too That is red only changing when we are dead In which we return from the dust we came No man is different we are all the same….. Stop using race to fuel your rage.

What color is the heart again? http://tuberose.com/Graphics/Bypass%20surgery1.gif
Blood is red usually but of different shades.
If you think I'm nitpicking you're right, which is my point. Although yes we are the same on a grander scale, we are also different in little ways. We have evolved to become sensetive to these tiny differences so that we can better identify each other(so you don't go hugging every old man you see on the street and calling him grandpappy). Racism is just an unfortunate biproduct of an essential evolutionary trait. Maybe if geneticists learn how to turn blacks white or whites black then we'll all be better off but I doubt it.
