Constance La France Poet Verse

Critical Race To End Prejudice

 
Racism is a systematic prejudice
that includes issues of gender and class
                           and religion
                             and disability.
Empathy is not enough we need meaningful
dialogue and not just storytelling.
We must end inherited white privilege access
to education, housing, employment, medical care !
        Why cannot society and laws
        right the paradigm and inequality ?
                         Will the Critical Race Theory
                           ever bring enlightenment ?
