For My Sister, of Another Color

Love Is Forevermore We met on the web long ago. My Black sister and I, her white schmoe. Our colors made no difference, Rita doesn't believe in color fences. Nor do I understand haters in any color, She said we were sisters of another mother. Both of us are Michael Jackson fans. He knew all were made by God's own hands! We share feelings, emails and pictures, too. I dont think, she will ever ask me, to apologize for being white,do you? This Supremacy nonsense belongs in tbe garbage can. We are both an example of loving your fellow man! Music, foods, hurt and pain. Without Rita in my life, there is nothing to gain! Love is forevermore Dedication to Rita. 8/3/2021 1

You and Rita are a perfect example on how we should lead our lives, you'll always get the haters in every colour and culture but we ignore and rise above them. Beautiful dedication to your friend Rita. Tom

I see things as you do Tom. Thank you for appreciating this poem. It takes a Poet with a loving heart to do so! People trump nature to me. Pangie

Black/White -- outside some elite, I never met anyone that ultimately judged a person's worth by stature or color. Great write, my friend! Politics has become all about money and power through the propagation of division. Sick. Our founding fathers must be rolling over in their graves. Thank you for this wonderful piece!

Prince de Mino...Oui! Politics promotes division by color or financial or religious reasons. Paving at Autobahn for MARXISM OR COMMUNISM. Send those folks to China or Cuba. Cubans want to come here and be free. But are far too Conservative~ so President Pfizer won't allow them in.there is no respect for the Founding Fathers. They are demonized..Sickens me, Pangie

Emelia....thank you...See the soul not the skin color! All Lives do matter. Asian, Jewish, Hispanic and Black and more. No one race is better, There is only one race, the human race, Pangie

I do not know. But in higher education, they are being walked over.they study hard..but are not wanted in universities. Universities have the my way or the highway mindset Pangie

Many have friends of another colour but we don't see it. Others have spouses of another colour. They are in love. They, too see no colour. One school put the children of mixed race out of the classroom when a special lesson on race was being presented. Now that is racism. The administrators do not know how to handle the realities of the world. We have interracial couples in our family. It is part of the joy in our lives. Don't teach hate to the children of people who love each other.

Madelyn. Most schools I taught in both in Chicago and SF staff lives on the moon!! I am referring to administrators, school psychologists, etc. America needs a Reset button called AMERICAN! Kids of mixed race were insulted by Blacks. Humans are humans. MLK must be turning in his grave. Your last sentence? A description of CRT. It's disgusting, did you ever notice the BLM salute , how similar to Feil Hitler. We were not raised to hate....Pangie
