Racism

Question, this word racism has my mind in a knot I am confused and a bit on ease I hope this poem doesn't raise any accusation I don't know if you will agree but racism isn't right. Racism is a word that has no heart at all Black, white , fat, slim, gay ,straight ,rich, poor, religious or not Why does it matter Racism should not be a word at all. Racism is ugly and brings out the worse in us all Six letters so powerful, mighty and wrong A word created to start every day wars. Racism I do not accept it at all Racism enslaves , break and segregates Why do we allow racism to carry any weight at all.

I totally agree - racism should not exist at all, but unfortunately it's there. Ironically, those who ran and rage about racism are themselves racists. They curse America like it is not their country, complain and whine about their entitlements but never leave the land. Many at a social site keep harping on "slave ships" ad infinitum. It is not helping them any.
