Different Color Causes Problems
Gandhi says “An eye for an eye makes the world blind”
The world just sits by and changes their mind
every time the person they want to be like changes their mind.
Why are we still living in a world where racism still happens
And we are incapable of moving past it?
it has been almost 221 years, and little improvement has been made!
It is easier to say that they hate racism then to stand up and fight for change.
Change will not happen, if we are incapable of changing minds.
There was a higher percent of black kids suspended than enrolled
like there will be more trees chopped down than standing.
The school doesn't care what they are doing
as long as they make money and that is the worst part because,
schools should teach the next generation that everyone
is a human no matter what they look like we are all the same and equal.
We send the next generation to these schools to be educated, to be better than the generation before them; but we are ignorant to
what impact we truly have on today’s generation.
It goes to show how you never know where racism can happen or
why history repeats itself!
Twenty-five percent of black people have listen to another kid
call them names during games it must be a pain;
sitting there trying to have fun but then you put down the controller
and the game is done. You could just be expecting to have fun
on a game but you never know what a person could say.
When you are online a person might not know you
and just assume that it will not bother you.
You have to be careful when online or you might just run into
the wrong spot that you didn’t want to end up in.
The entire jail is filled with colored people walking
down the giant hall and seeing all colored people in the cells
being held for crimes that white people have commited
Black people are treated unfairly,
which should not be happening in today's modern era.
Every black person has to worry every day
that today could be there last day, they never know
what could happen in an instance.
When you could be detained for something
that a white person gets away with.
Racism is like a cough it can come on in a instance
totally out of the blue and unexpected similar to how
colored people don’t want racism.
You just never know what or when you could offend someone
The huge problem is that we always turn a blind eye even
if we don’t notice we are never truly right till we all understand
the power of our actions.
