Racists

Why do people hate 
And discriminate 
Because of the color of someone else's skin?

Why do people think 
That the color you are on the outside 
Defines who you are on the inside?

Why are some people so close minded
That they can’t look past color and race

You look into my face 
And tell me you don’t like another race

Just because they don’t look like you
You must really not have a clue
I feel sorry for you

You only get one life to live
So why waste it 
On this petty bull shyt
