Racial Profiling
By Elton Camp
A black man walks in a suburban neighborhood
That the police will be called will be understood
A young black woman is dressed extremely cute
So some will then assume that she’s a prostitute
When a Muslim man attempts an airplane to board
Angry glares and muttered words show he’s abhorred
A Mexican man in the USA often comes to feel grief
Because onlookers take him to be lazy or even a thief
By police, the racial profiling is ever so much bolder
Minorities are disproportionately pulled to the shoulder
Yet, I cannot declare my own self to be prejudice-free
A black man appears and I lock my car quick as can be
I'll say a few words none to be kind.
America is still color blind.
You could be yellow, red, white,
brown, or black.
Hate towards any of these colors is
racism and that’s a proven fact.
Racism comes in many different
shapes and forms.
I have had my fair share since I’ve
been born.
God blessed us by putting us here,
giving us all different shades of
color.
We’re not meant to have the same
color skin, but we all can respect one
another.
They judge you by where you come
from and the color of your skin;
for much equality and respect seems
impossible to win.
Because of race why do innocent
people die?
My spirit and soul begins to cry.
As I advocate the human rights for
all man.
Our nation looks so liberal and
claims there is equality for all
humans.
We need to join together as one,
Until our earths work is done.
People are just human beings
regardless of their ethnic pride.
So people should try to constantly
look spiritually inside.
Let us all hope that the dark clouds
of racial prejudice will soon pass
away, and that in some not too
distant tomorrow the radiant stars of
love and brotherhood will shine over
our great nation with all their
scintillating beauty. Martin Luther
King Jr.
"Do you know such a work place
with racial discrimination?"
Asked some *****sapiens friends
who aren't so tall but with fair complexion.
By the way, you can make a guess,
if it is in your local place.
Maybe here, maybe there,
or perhaps abroad or somewhere else.
For this is an absolute experience,
for some who migrate in other places,
When it comes to work payment,
their compensation isn't that worth and fair.
Many are also asking questions,
like those with more responsibilities and work load.
"Why those workers with less but receive more?
Is it because of their color?"
However, "Yes" is isn't the answer,
especially that black and white are paid higher.
Then, they continue to wonder,
and make other presumptions on this matter.
"Aha! The sharpness of the nose maybe
and not either based on work load or one's ability."
So, they think their presumption will come more precisely
to the fact or to the reality?
But, they thought they need not to waste their money
to plan with the doctor for a surgery.
Because if they do and they're getting low salary,
their employer may think they came from a well-to-do family.
It's really hard for them to think
what is the real gauge and basis.
"Is it the height or color of skin?
Aha! It's the color of the hair, they concluded finally.
So, those poor *****sapiens friends
went to beauty parlor in nearby places.
They asked the beautician for help
and colored their hair brown, red, blond and some were golden.
After all of what they did, nothing had happened
because their reward from their effort and work is still the same.
So, they just kept calm and never ever whine again,
realizing that racial discrimination really exists.
Hence, they work harder instead
and never ever I heard their complains.
However, one of them had mention then
that they'll get more reward if they work for God in Heaven.
Racial Discrimination
Racial discrimination
Comes directly from Satan;
Finds lack of love its basis
For the evil one, a mighty baton.
To love our brothers and sisters
Is requested of us,
Regardless of our color,
We all belong to Jesus.
As I see a scene in heaven,
I am quite amazed,
White folk are in the minority—
Any sense of superiority completely erased.
On earth it is so different,
Where whites are given preference;
Think themselves superior—
To God, an act of ignorance.
As I look around me further
And speak to many there,
I find few with higher education;
And for wealth they didn’t care.
It was not a crown they’d hope for,
Or a place of honor or distinction.
They just wanted to see Jesus;
His love, their natural demonstration.
Racial Discrimination
Is purely based on pride.
But God sees all as equal;
Salvation to none denied.
Pride is the sin
That kept many out of heaven;
It was not their color or education,
Once falsely considered a privilege given.

There was no true freedom in this nation.
We were allowed to go with emancipation.
However, we afterwards fought discrimination.
Ubiquitous was racism and segregation.
Often with the rising sun of the dawn,
we would find a smoldering cross on our lawn.
What has been the price of racial equality?
It has been a struggle as tough as can be.
inspired by another member's poem
Freeze! Freeze! Cops here, put your hands in the air!
Get on your knees! Put your hands behind your head!
We had a report of a crime and came and found you here.
You’re under arrest; if you move; we will shoot you dead.
Officer, what is the charge for which I am under arrest?
Was I identified as the suspect in your alleged report?
I’m on my knees; hands behind my head; I will not protest.
Why an intruder and a criminal, did the caller purport?
I am an employee and the owner of this business officer.
It is my legal right and prerogative to be situated here.
How can you infringe on my rights; but, take benefits I offer?
You disrespect my liberty and dignity the anthem holds dear;
You profiled, labelled, tried and convicted; without knowing me;
I am guilty, until my innocence is proven to be wholly true.
In a country whose constitution don’t benefit me, who’s free;
Then what relevance is the ‘virtue of the flag,’ if not ‘equal value’.

Racial issues,
Who needs it?
DX
Carbon, deep, deep black in one form
Refracting light in another
Symbols of energy and wealth
Yet, still the same carbon on the inside
Three handed creature
Grasping hydrogen atoms, oxygen and themselves
Forming the hydrocarbon chains of food stuffs
Filling our bodies with the stuff of energy
Powering the mighty engine that never stops till life's last breath
Feeding through the inner pulsing red rivers the oxygen
Absorbed from the ocean of air surrounding us all
To keep alive the organs
The inside of every human being
Identical, indistinct.....one human from another
Until coated in a skin
Available in a variety of colors
From white to red to yellow to black and all shades between
And now we see a difference, where there is no difference.
ALAS!
No discrimination, no greed, no war!
In unity and peace, let us stand tall,
Nations, come together, heal the scar,
With love and compassion, we'll break the fall.
Scars of the past, not for vengeance to cling,
But as precious lessons, let's hold them tight,
War, a resolve that wrath will bring,
Evil's deceit, war's traitorous might.
Hitler hiding, like a rat in the bunker,
Japan overwhelmed, her wings torn asunder,
Mussolini spared not, this ruthless encounter,
In the face of war, all countries must ponder.
Matthew chapter 7
1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you
judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will
be measured to you.
During my entire life
I stayed glued to my TV
Deep in a low alpha state
Hypnotized into becoming "me"
I jumped when they told me to
They taught me how to be tough
And my eyes would sometimes water
If the acting was good enough
Yet after this virtual lifetime
Not one instance is coming to me
Of Arabs portrayed as human beings
On my blessed and holy TV
Always, always, always
It told me how to think
And if I even heard the word "Arab"
I judged exactly as I had seen
So this brings me to my point
TV is not the creator of truth
And I judged an entire people
Simply because I was told to
I hope they will understand
And even turn the other cheek
Because I based all of my judgments
On an electronic TV screen

of Palestinian descent. Truly a generous, loving and passionate soul, who
who showed me what I've been told about middle eastern people is
truly ridiculous.]
“There is no life without death.”
Evolutionary indigenous
Nomads were Mongoloid.
Scavengers were Australoid and Caucasoid.
Barbarians were Congoid and Negroid.
We became civilized but within, nations were lost.
A great division of humankind characterized by our features, we are all a myth of the Mayans.
Genetically distinct we are formed as a species – humanity.
Nevertheless, famine plagues us.
War is born here, near, and far.
We are no more than the human race.
However, we have known discrimination because we immigrate.
God confused the languages to eliminate this type of hate.
A great nation form from this ideology and is named the United States [of America].
America has genes to produce olive, black, brown, and white offspring.
In the North, we stand.
The Racial Golden Rule states that we are rightfully given a separate place that provides racial freedom via racial separation and independence.
White people immigrated.
Black people were brought as slaves.
Via the natives, this eminent country - this eminent domain was made.

Of Inter-Racial Marriage
By Elton Camp
Few topics from writing should be exempt
This one, perhaps, very few would attempt
To write on such a topic, some might scare
But I am old enough that I really don’t care
In this State years ago, you couldn’t choose
A marriage license authorities would refuse
A wedding of black and white you never saw
Because it was a violation of established law
Then awareness of civil rights came around
And the courts rightly struck such laws down
But bigoted social pressure was still in place
And it held such marriages to be a disgrace
“A white girl who’d marry a black is a whore.”
You heard stupid stuff like that and even more
Black father said, “Take a white for your wife
And that will surely bring an end to my life.”
It’s true that marriage is complicated at best
And racial differences will add to all the rest
It seems that prejudiced feelings now do fade
And to wed whom you want fewer are afraid
If some member of the KKK comes around
And sees this poem, for sure he will frown
Yet, a bigger concern does him now annoy:
“I certainly do hope my girl marries a boy.”
A cold, harsh reality
Victims, mostly black and brown
Overt, subtle, take your pick
Sadly, here to stay

The Pre-Civil Rights days are making a comeback,
where "other" ethnicities are under attack,
Asian, Indians, Jews, Hispanics and Blacks,
The daggers are being thrown at backs,
Minorities have come a long way from the
days of degradation and ostracism,
Why would anyone want to revist that era again?
Keeping minorities at bay won't restore the economy,
neither will violence, hate crimes and hostility,
We are all equals in the eyes of God,
having earthly experiences that are good
and bad,
We travel the same stormy seas,
Racial Harrassment only brings contempt
and dis-ease,
In unity peace will be found and maybe resolutions that
will astound.
A caste preservationist favors separation
of White from NonWhite races.
Racists come in two varieties,
but both behaviorally support White privileged apartheid,
if not in what we liberally say
about capitalism's free
and irresponsible speech marketing way
then in what we conservatively do
Too comfortable with neighbor-hooded
apartheid school
and patriarchal church
historical monoculturing segregation
practicing our habitual systemic trauma
combative politics of xenophobic mistrust.
Racists favor separation of positive light
v negative dark eumemic cultures
to perpetuate economic
and political partisan praxis
of ChosenPeople irreligious superiority
An ongoing "upper-self" v "lower-othered"
disempowering
unenlightened "winner" v "loser"
systemic trauma narrative.
There is no authentic empowerment side
of love
in this history of racist segregation
because we are all apartheid losers
when we prefer to fly apart
And stronger when we fly together
more polyculturally inter-religious
deep listening enriched
By our choices for inclusive community investment,
when and where we seek divine empowerment
of MotherNature's cooperative multicultured purse?
rather than monotheistic business
as win v lose 0-sum
northern light v southern dark
anthro-privileged
bipolar
oppositionally defiant
caste-preserving usual
Competing to defend
birthright v birthwrong
long separated standing
in life's lesser survivalist
v greater thrivalist
apartheid pecking order
A dull monoculturing defensive position
within Win v Lose strategic oppositions,
entirely inappropriate for organic Gaia's
WinAnthroWealth/WinEarthHealth
polyculturing positive eumemic
pronoia
Healthier and wealthier
and wiser resonant opportunities together
than dissonantly risky
xenophobic paranoid behavior
dark deadly caste apart.
