What's in a name
skin just the same
The face is the blame
Taken for face value
skin hue
Character won't do
Can't judge a book
by it's cover
some cared not
to discover

Many are racially hated
their skin color is related
their character in
no way negotiated
Chop off the head
they're better decapitated

The kkk broke lose
with the hangmans noose
cared nothing about
the man inside
only the color of
the skin outside
It was all a hatred game
a part of this countries
skin shame

i know that this all still exists but i know we have made progress--there will always be those of any color who want to hate for one reason or another--

Unfortunately there are still a lot of racial injustice everywhere. People call each other names, whether you be white, black, Korean, Chinese or Japanese. They apply names to each.

People who cry I'm not judging others, but in fact they do.

Sandie Angel :o)
