Color Blindness

Racism in a kids eye Daddy asked "tell me, which guy do you think is going to win?" She answered "the guy with the hat" She didn't say, "oh the white guy, or the black guy, or the light skinned guy...." She got mommy and daddy smiling She got auntie thinking. .. The 50%, the color culture, the "us" separate rhythms we sing, the supremacy games... All over, we the haters of the one thing that makes us so beautiful. . THERE IS NO RACISM IN A KID'S EYE Those innocent eyes see beyond color!

Yes...so so beautiful, my dear. What a wonderfully powerful write. It is no wonder that Jesus said, "Unless you become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of God." :)
