Racism

Contributed by hawaii06 on Tuesday, 20th January 2004 @ 05:48:59 PM in AEST
Topic: MiscPoems



Stuck in a place full of every race.
Dealing with my father’s racism, it sucks.

My friends are black, no need for the hate.
Why the names?
What did they do?

Our world, messed up,
Always being made fun of for saying, “Sup.”
Just because they’re black doesn’t make them slaves.
They’re humans right?

What are you thinking?
Don’t talk about my friends.
You don’t know them,
Do you really want to?

Do you know their history?
No, so stop disgracing their background.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Please daddy, stop.

I really hate that kind of thing. He'll never learn though. Bad feeling from dealing with it before. I liked the write though.
