Happiness and Racism

Mark Scott-Crossley and Simon Mathebula Tied up Nelson Chisale and beat him with machetes dumping him in with white lions Africa Learned to hate the Whites Yet this is only one white farmer should we hate all the people for the act of one man to easily do we attack the colour of a mans skin do the crime do the time but don't blame others for the act of another man you ask that we should apologise for the acts of our ancestors I ask you why? why; should I apologise for the act of my great grandfather, I did not, do what he did, I am not responsible, for his crimes, should you apologise, for the acts of your Great grandfather, perhaps he was a cannibal, perhaps in the past, he ate somebody's ancestor, yet, do we ask you, to apologise for him so why do you ask us, to apologise, for the acts of our ancestors, Hate the man who did the crime, not the colour of his skin, Black people, have also been responsible for evil, murder and rape, happen in all cultures, You don't expect us to hate you, for the act of your brothers, so why should you hate us, for the acts of other whites, blame the person, that did the crime, not the colour, of a man's skin, Every day, I get up and try to help people, try to teach others, That happiness is created with a sense of humour, learn to joke have fun with people, and the world becomes a happier place. Yet even a sense of humour can become twisted people laugh at the expense of someone else learn to laugh with people learn to joke in away that builds happiness without hurting others To hate all Americans is racism To Hate all Jew's is racism To hate all Africans is racism all cultures have good and bad people
