Because our world's too crowded, we fear strangers, treating foreigners with disdain and contempt. Yet, xenophobia is fraught with dangers; laws can help, but the entitled feel exempt. "Go back to where you came from;" such racial slurs taunts many minority entrepreneurs. How easily we tend to forget our roots and what being a true Christian constitutes. (Rispetto) 04/28/2023 Writing Challenge - Words with 'X' Sponsored by: Constance La France "Xenophobia"... Rhymezone/HowManySyllables Rispetto The Rispetto lyric is generally composed of eight hendecasyllabic (11-syllable) lines. Early on the rhyme scheme was usually abababcc , but ababccdd is now more prominent.

This is so true, Emile. We need to remember God made each of us--no race more beautiful than the others.
