If you want to be the same as me
Don't demand a velvet glove.
I don't expect it for myself,
Not even from those I love.
If you choose to call me "white"
Then I may call you "black"
Any favor you pay to me
Is only fair to be paid back.
Respect is not to be given
Because of the color of your skin
Nor due to the shape of your torso
The determinant lies within.
To be fair, you've been oppressed,
But for that, I bear no blame,
To hold a grudge against me
Is yet the greater shame.
To be truly politically correct, the adjectives used to qualify different people should not be so used. We're all people, no matter of gender, race, creed, nationality, or any other category into which we choose to put each other.

Well said, Sir Odd.
I am both "black" and "white" so I am not easily offended by being termed black.
I am more black than white so, that's why I term myself so.
Anyway, I don't think anyone should be oppressed, no matter what colour the person is.
I agree with you on this matter.
Furthermore, I agree that this can be a touchy subject with some people, which in turn lends itself to being avoided at most costs.
I like the basic message at the end.
I like the rhyme in this too.
Keep writing, friend. : ) |
