Ringing the Bell Curve

Most of us could care less about another person's color
we're to busy with everyday things,
like working hard-trying to make a living
providing for family
setting positive examples
raising children to be a better version of ourselves.
                 and
In between all these mundane things
we try explaining to them.
About the curious phenomenon 
we call God.

The media -the wealthy -the radicals 
are trying to topple democracy-to topple us.
They choose to focus on the rotten apples of society.
Make it seem like bigotry is the way everybody thinks.
to promote chaos and mayhem in society.

It's not just a white, black or blue thing.
as they would have you believe-it's a human being thing...
The extremist blame their failures-on {white privilege}..

The bell curve can tell you many things
but not everything...
On either end are the extremist
they focus and spotlight the exceptions to the rules.
These are the malcontents of our races and society.
In the middle are the majority of us-we the people-
Just trying to get by-fencing with everyday devils.
the middlemen- standing by our rights and freedoms.
Trying to deal with the violent intolerant fringes-
