The Foolishness of Racism

A rose is flower No matter the shade Be it yellow or red, makes it no less Which shade is superior? None! An apple is a fruit No matter the shade- Be it red, yellow or green makes it no less: Which shade is superior? None! There are trees: the oak, the maple, the myrtle, the fir; the sycamore, the pine, etc.; each coming in different shades and colors and tones at various times- color makes no difference; their shade changes not the fact that they are all trees- no more and no less: Which shade is superior? None! A person is a human: a living, breathing being created in the Image of All Mighty God; The skin of which has many shades, colors and tints: light, brown, pale, dark, black or chocolate. Which shade is superior? None. No matter the tint or color or shade, each should be acknowledge by their character's content. One man is not supreme to another because he is light(white) Not inferior because he is dark(black) or somewhere in between(all others) For we've all been created by the "Father of Light;" the Creator who gave us all human life. Race is not a matter of skin color! We are all "equal" by blood and by breath! We are thus all the same needing "true" love for happiness. So valuing another human being by color is a sign of foolish ignorance that each of us must abandon; cast aside; stamp out with every ounce of our strength- So that Earth can be livable: a peaceful, loving habitation where every one is somebody "special" and "unique" for its what's inside the heart of the mind that matters and will ultimately determine our true destiny. So what will it be? Will we be in bondage or will we be free? And drop this thought of race by skin color so that all of us(all mankind) can strive to be every thing our Heavenly Creator meant for us to be.
