Hatred for some races
there’re a few of us
Whom we may not trust
Some of us hate our fellow man just
Cause for the color of their skins
LET US STOP, STOP RIGHT NOW THIS HATRED FOR THE RACES
But man about
Hatred and strive
What kind of world is this we’re in
Some whites hate blacks
Some blacks hate whites
As some whites hate Hispanics
As some hate Asians
What kind of world are we in
LET US STOP, STOP RIGHT NOW THIS HATRED FOR THE RACES
When in the ground are skins decay
Disintegrates
What kind of mistrust, deceitfulness
And haltered bounds us
IN the casket, in the grave, and in heaven in hell
Color just doesn’t matter
For we rot and decay
For we put on a new body
Some of us will stand, walk before the Lord and God
The other some of us, will just burn, rot and bust
Into the flames of condemnation
You see God and Jesus and the Angels are no color
The color of their substances is love
The color of their substances is mercy
The color of their substances is grace
May the everlasting fire come upon us
to forever drown
tormented
yet we sin
troubled, troubled
a child, some of us repented not
This is why we rot and burst
LET US STOP, STOP RIGHT NOW THIS HATRED FOR THE RACES
The curtain closes
an empty jar on the table, a maroon smile
there is only embarrassment
tortured
bleak, troubled times
LET US STOP, STOP RIGHT NOW THIS HATRED FOR THE RACES
God forgive us for the,
hatred for some races
So shall I love my sister, my brother
No matter their color
For there’s no colored God
For His (God’s) mercy and grace
Covers are face, no matter what color we are

When I go outside and see the homeless, I see one thing,
There are no homeless Hispanics and yet,
There is a Hispanic Panic amongst those who are paranoid
From the abuelitas selling taquitos to artists hawking cartoon portraits, street vendors were hustling long before the pandemic. But they are being forced to adjust even more due to the downturn caused by COVID-19.
Mexican merchants are struggling to keep their
Food Truck small businesses, LA Street Vendor’s, are not pan-handlers
For goodness’ sake, buy KEEP-SAKES!
In an era where more of our workforce is in the informal economy with zero protections and safety nets for emergencies
LA Street Vendor Campaign demonstrates how local solutions
can scale up and reach thousands of precarious workers
across Los Angeles and beyond.
How proud they put them on display
Two thousand of the first of fortyk
There President Bukele did say
They’ll live in the jailhouse for decades
he went on boasting, in jail it’s judgement day,
as he held his glass of brandy toasting
inmates, suspected violent gang members
moved to a new mega-prison in El Salvador
Transferred to the Center of Confinement of Terrorism
Mixed up, unable to do any more harm
to the population, it was said
So why do I care about these souls,
tears flowed as I read the article
about thousands of prisoners, and Bukele in particular
Central American country’s notorious pandillas
And right then I understood why I cried
Hundreds never made it to round two, que pesadillas
There are the innocent ones who are denied
a fair trial, it's sad to think that nothing can be done
for a mother's innocent son
Social injustice and economic inequality
have always been practiced in our Nation's working industry
Irish need not apply, Hispanics we don't want your kind
and Blacks don't even show your face
this was the typical response to ethnic minorities in America's workplace
nepotism and favoritism were the norm and status quo
as it was not about your knowledge or skill but about who you know
let us never forget the unions and labor laws which evened the playing field
for if it was left up to corporate America economic inequality would never yield
Racism, discrimination and segregation on our Nation's history is a blight
and in spite of all the civil rights laws we still have to fight
for a measure of equal opportunity
for some respect and a little dignity
let us never forget the Rev. Dr. King Jr., Medgar Evers, Cesar Chavez and Rosa Parks
those who stood up against injustice by igniting a socially conscious spark
they did not back down, they would not back off, they took a moral stance
so that every single human being in this country could have an equal chance
We hold these truths to be self-evident that all citizens shall be treated the same
regardless of race, color, age, gender or how we pronounce your name
and as we celebrate Black History Month let us never forget those who led the fight
in the struggle for social justice, economic equality and basic human rights
I’m saying “The Blacks,” which is what we were referred to as.
So yall, Trump said, “Millions” (yes, MILLIONS) of immigrants are coming into this country illegally and “they” are taking jobs from “the Blacks” and Hispanics.
Let’s do the math. Yeah, let me make this make sense.
Black owned companies usually are small companies and will most likely hire “Blacks,” which means the rest of the “millions” of Blacks that don’t work for a “Black” company works for a white company.
(The Hispanics are definitely a part of this topic, however I’m going to leave them out this next part to shed light on “the Blacks.”)
Step 1 - If the immigrants don’t come into the country, then the whites don’t have many options, they just have to “stick” with “the Blacks.” Now, the only way the immigrants can “take” jobs from us is if they are hired.
Step 2 - If “they” (the immigrants) are taking the jobs from “the Blacks” and “the Blacks” are working for the whites, then that mean the whites are hiring them. So if the whites are hiring them, then that’s benefiting the whites and the whites don’t see nothing wrong with that, only thing is what you are saying is, if you replace “the Blacks,” and “the Blacks” don’t have a job, then they most likely could turn to drugs, crime and violence. So if they turn to drugs, crime and violence, they end up in jail. So if they end up in jail, then really all you have left to work for your company are the illegal immigrants.
So since these “MILLIONS” are coming into the country taking jobs from “the Blacks” and Hispanics, what Trump is basically saying is, you white companies are or are willing to hire illegal, undocumented immigrants, right?
Just saying…
As we look back on the path blazed by Jr MLK.
Seeing the progress wondering what he’d say.
The work has begun and the game changed.
But there’s lots more minds to be rearranged.
People wear blinders, seeing black and white.
Naïve to all the many shades in our plain sight.
Fifty shades of grey shouldn’t be an S&M flick.
It’s the mindset of the racial colors yet to stick.
Whites are ivory, beige, tan, peach and pink.
Blacks are brown, almond & espresso I think.
The caucasians are rarely the color of chalk.
Its more like the shades of your local sidewalk.
AfricanAmericans are rarely sky at mid-night.
More like flavors of chocolate before the bite.
We know Hispanics appear white and black.
So it’s time to give everyone else some slack.
We now have many options for sex on forms.
Progressive of gender and preference norms.
But when it comes to appearance of our skin.
It requires the change of our mindset within.
So the next time you look at people to decide.
Think like an artist and set the old ways aside.
We can change our view and cause a surprise.
Unlike our pets, we don’t have colorblind eyes.
If we adjust the lens we view color of skin.
Improvement in mutual respect can begin.
When we evolve our palette of the two races.
USA elevates to reach MLK Jr dream spaces.
