Racism
  From now to way back in the day
  Even before when the pictures were mostly grey
  There is a really big problem on this planet
  That is causing a lot of panic
  The problem I’m talking about is racism
  It’s bad and shouldn't happen to any organism
  Racism is the discrimination directed towards another race
  All that hatred because someone came from a different place
  Back in the 1900 it was aimed towards the blacks
  Listen good as I hit you with some facts
  Blacks are three percent more likely to get killed by a cop than whites
  But I thought that we already fought for our rights
  Also don't forget about the latinos
  Who went through almost as much prejudice as the negroes
  Latino females earn roughly 54 cents for every dollar earned by a white man
  That’s $24,000 in a year’s time and I've only just began
  Don't forget the stereotypes that blacks are just thugs
  That they are killers and don't do anything but drugs
  Or that all hispanics are illegal mexicans
  Coming and stealing the jobs of americans
  Our own president says he is going to build a wall
  Is this the beginning of us accepting our downfall
  If racism is gone why are there hate groups like the KKK
  I have a dream for the end of racism just like MLK
  We need to stop looking at people and their skin
  Because eventually we all are kin
  Racism won't end in a week
  But it will be faster if you stand up and speak
  I want everyone who reads this to share with their friends
  To their family, neighbors, and their boyfriends
  Get everyone to read this let's start a trend
  Go online and tweet #PutRacismToAnEnd
