The non-colored picture
shows it all
the animosity between us
waiting for the black man to fall

boycotting and gettn beat
hungry and falling to my feet
but I know in his restaurant
I will never eat

School is like the same
showing displeasure is ashame
because if i went to there school
i will be the one to blame

but now today
all i can say
is that black and white can finally play

Because the Klu Klux Clan
can never take down a black man
united we all stand
holding hands
marching in bands
because you not going to cut me down like cultivated land

We are all diffrent called diversity
in the class with a white man who has the same major as me

Shown by the new president
black and white can live in the same residence

We live on the same earth
to the offspring we give birth
we shuld show them how equality works
as we all live under one big skirt

This piece inspired me from the Jenna 6, when six young black men were chareged with battery for beating up a white kid. The judge took the white's side even though the boys goy jumped by the white kids's friends.
