Colorless

I am a product of my next of kin so in their image, through evolution determined pigmentation of my skin of human historic distribution, a complexion that I am powerless though never shall I ever be ashamed typecast as white, to me I'm colorless yet in my veins my red blood is contained, we are creations of mother nature earths location dictates our appearance heredity determines our future to me white or black makes no difference, we are inhabitants of planet Earth whatever color we were at our birth. 01/13/2018 Contest what is white Sponsored by Debbie Guzzi.

Thank you so much Jan, I think the majority of people see each other as fellow human beings, we just need certain world leaders to do the same, thanks again for your support and best wishes. :))
