Racism Persists

It has been a century and a half since emancipation. However, stubbornly persisting is racial discrimination. Despite many anti-discrimination laws today, people are still breaking and ignoring them anyway. Racists from all over are continuing to disobey. The situation is just too perplexing to me. Why can't we ever learn to live in harmony? inspired by another member's poem

I am in agreement with you, Robert. I don't understand what difference it makes, we are all human. Good write! Love, Kim

In agreement with you 100% Racism is something that should've died a long time ago, Why it hasn't yet is a mystery to me. Hopefully one day it will stop. This is a very powerful piece. Stop by and check out my work sometime.
