Colour of Tribalism

I am judged even before they get to know me by the tone of my skin, and tribal name. even before I speak, my fate has already been decided, my ethnicity announced it. I am called by what I look like not what I am, judged by my tribal name, judged by my cultural heritage, judged by my mother's tongue, I am called by what I look I like, not what I am. I have felt the sharp blade. segregation by tribe, segregation by ethnicity, culture, heritage and language, I have felt the sharp blade. mine is not racism, it is tribalism. and I have felt its sharp blade.
