Interracial Politics
Nonsense. All of this interracial prejudice. All of the real wars of violence are in
our homes and fenced in backyards.
Nonsense. interracial madness. Hating the sight of your own kind - forgetting it
could easily be you in the unemployment line.
Nonsense. Climbing the ladder of success while losing your integrity or wealth of
heredity is a far worse crime to me.
Nonsense. Hating me not for my opinion but because of my dark skin -used to
be our plight with only white men -but now it's with our own kin.
Nonsense. Racial injustice is now our own fault and we still yet fight with unjust
cause. We pass judgement on the shape of our bodies, the style of our hair, our
clothes and , yes the shape of our nose - Ridiculous!
Nonsense. interracial politics is a failure to me. A mission of hatred, while we cry
for equality, democracy and diversity but we have no unity.
Nonsense. Interracially - I look like you and you look like me - all we have to do is
trace our beginnings of lineage and deal with the similarities or our heritage.
Nonsense. Stop treating your brother like he doesn't matter just because he's in
a lighter brown wrapper. Stop stepping past your sister because she doesn't
have a Barbie doll figure.
Nonsense. Interracial politics. If we aren't careful, we will not be just the minority
but we will soon be the next endangered species -
all but extinct.
