Look at your neighbor
Who do you see?
A black man,
white man,
red man,
yellow man.
All these are just titles,
they have no place in a free world,
they are discriminative,
they are hateful,
we must be rid of these titles,
or they will be rid of us,
for in order for us,
to preach freedom we need to truly give it.
These titles cause the obstruction of even basic freedom,
they are the reason for our hate.
these tribal titles obstruct us ,
from what we can be.
They prevent the love of one another,
not as Black,
White,
Or otherwise,
but as human beings.
As one collective race,
as one collective mind,
as one people of all nations and backgrounds,
of all cultures.
We are one race,
one species.
We must accept our neighbor
as Brother and Sister,
but first in order to do this,
we must extinguish the fiery barriers of Hate.
Barriers that have stood for hundreds of years,
Whether sparked by Culture,
Race,
Or nationality.
All barriers must be removed,
in the hopes that we will one day,
accept all,
so that we may judge people
not by their skin but by their character.
That is the world i’m willing to fight for
the world i’m willing to die for
that world is the hope for mankind.
If we can’t reach it in time
The barriers will become like wolves chasing prey
And will devour this ideal of Tolerance whole like a lone sheep,
without mercy or remorse.
So if you're willing to follow,
and you agree,
say this with me.
Im human,
you are human,
we may be white, black or otherwise,,
but i will love as if you were my brother or sister,
your skin is not important,
your character is ,
that is what you will be remembered for.
I will try my hardest,
not to use the terms White, Black, Asian, or Indian harshly ever again.
for those terms have no use in a free society,
they have no use in a world that preaches Freedom and Equality,
even if it doesn’t practice these things.
We are one race,
and one culture,
That is Human.
I will love my fellow human,
With the rights of every freeman,
I am human,
I am one united race,
With the powers and rights that accompany it,
I may be one in 7 billion,
but those 7 billion are the largest race in the world,
i’m happy to be one,
where no titles are necessary.
It is the Human Race.
