Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required What is white? The ironies of the question and the implications Are really quite extraordinary ... For WHITE, specifically Is the ABSENCE of all color. If "white supremacists" truly took the term seriously They'd know that they have completely misrepresented themselves And that the term "white" Is the most all-inclusive term possible If taken literally ... Oh, I'm sure they'd come up with some absurd rationalization Or a term far more hateful and divisive (Cause that's what they're about, after all) But I'd love to make them aware of that reality just the same Just to watch them squirm a bit. But I'm a realist, overall, and that's what "white" means to me A lack of all color, distinctly. I don't like labels ... And I don't like being called "white" ... it doesn't fit I'm sort of tan, if you must know, And it changes throughout the year And sometimes by the minute ... Depending on the amount of time I get in the sun Or the amount of time I've spent shoveling or blowing snow, (yuck!) Or, quite possibly, how much wine I've had with dinner But I'm not, nor have I EVER been, remotely "white". If we applied that word to society as a whole We'd ACTUALLY be saying that mankind is colorless And while it's also not remotely accurate It would be wonderful if we saw each other that way ... colorless, I mean. But color, like religion and politics and size and sex and ... Oh, EVERYthing, really Is something that makes us who we are The differences that make us unique and special creations And ALL those things should be embraced ... And celebrated ... For our differences are the things that denote individuality And SHOULDN'T be things to divide us But rather things that bring us together ... As individuals ... Not incite fear and bias and hatred. So, please don't ever call me "white" UNLESS you mean what the WORD truly means - colorless Because that's how I see myself spiritually And in relation to my fellow humans. But if you're talking skin tone Try "light tan", that's probably closest ... And I'm proud to be the shade I am, (whatever that may be) Cuz I doubt there's anyone else That's exactly the same ... And the fact that there's probably no one else in the world Who's EXACTLY the same skin tone as anyone ELSE Is one MORE good reason Why it shouldn't matter ... At ALL. Ever. * Written and submitted on January 17, 2018, for the "What Is White?" Poetry Contest, Debbie Guzzi, Sponsor. *
