Darkness and Light

Inside every white person
There is an element of black
Inside every black person
There is an element of white
Inside every yellow person
There are elements of black and white

Thank you, Jenish. Your comment said it all beautifully, we all have the same colour blood... ( although perhaps it would be hard to convince Royalty of that lol! )
