In reality, racism is a synonym for many forms of predjudice

Racism Readdressed By Franklin Price 05/31/2020 Racism as we know it Or as we're made to see Not the way it is presented Not the way that it should be History tells the story If we take the time to look Racism is all relative To the one who writes the book In the end it's not racism But in each one's attitude Could be anyone or anybody The viewer or the viewed Poor people hate the rich ones The rich the other way Religions hate each other We see that proven every day Black and white are different When they're seen by you and me Until we look past color Shades of gray are all we'll see If you look within yourself There's someone you disdain May not be another race Yet those thoughts in you remain It's the nature of humanity To dislike those not the same Minority or majority That's how we play the game Until we see no difference Are okay with everyone Racism will be with us Until our days are done
