We All Are Human Beings

Human life started in Africa, scientists have said. 
When you look at the evolution of mankind and 
the human race, all human beings started out 
with a black face. 

Scientists say our colors all came from the sun. 
 When people lived in different places, that was 
the reason for the colors we wear on our faces. 

If you came from the north, your skin color was 
white; if you came from the south, the sun made 
your skin color black. Those are the facts. 
Think about that. 

So the sun is the reason for the color of the skin. 
It comes from the locations on Earth our ancestors 
lived in. Now, if you want to know if that's true, 
I recommend the internet to you. 

So all this talk about black and white really comes 
from the sunlight. Racism is like dope--a man-made 
manifestation equal to a bad joke. 

I become weary of the war between black and white 
when all of us are victims of the sunlight. It was nature 
that changed the color of our skin; because, the fact of 
the matter is, whatever color you are, 
we are all human.
