Racist: I Have Saw Discrimination
Don't be a hater, a racist, evil
because I SAW discrimination
One day not so long ago a white man walked into a cafe'
and rudely asked a BLACK man to leave the seat
WELL! ! ! ! the BLACKman turned around and started composing one of
the most beautiful but unknown speeches in that time
'Sir when you were born you were pink,
when you're sick you're green
when you die you'll be pale
when you're angry you're red
and when you're hurt you're blue!
When I was born i was BLACK,
when i'm sick i'm BLACK
when i die i'll be BLACK
when i'm angry i'm BLACK
and when i'm hurt i'm BLACK
YOU know that and you dare to make a deal of my color?
That was what discrimination deserves
Everything is done for a reason
And i saw discrimination so i could tell YOU

Definition of Racism
He is a victim of racism and all forms of discrimination
When blacks and the police meet at the same time
To the racist you have committed a crime
Right now the racism is in its prime
Right now the discrimination is in its prime
It appears its wrong for him to earn his dime
It appears its wrong for him to be in the lime-light.
Racism does not start
When you worship the racist
It is when you cease to
He or she will strike you with an open fist.
Racism does not start
If you are perceived as a dullard
Or have a regular simple job then turn drunkard.
Racism does not start
When you are aiming low
It only starts when you want to grow
Grow in a high-flying career
Then it becomes quite clear;
The racist thinks you should never be there
It starts when you want to grow in wisdom
It starts when you mix with others in their kingdom
Does it mean he has no right to aspire?
Or look up and aim higher
Or have any form of ambitious white desires
Does it mean he cant have white friends?
Or mix and mingle with the white elites?
At work puppets are used as tools for mobbing
Everything around him happens so fast
He is the only one to hear about it or last
In manipulated isolation he becomes the lone outcast
The techniques are modern vast and will continually last
Till he makes his exit and becomes a thing of the past
What they are actually doing is robbing
Robbing him of his dignity
Callously without any pity
Robbing him gradually of all his credibility
Publicly, disguising them in actions of witty
Creating an atmosphere of hate
There is no need to debate
Been black and a man is his fate
Constant discrimination is forever on his plate
Racism is not always obvious
Discrimination to those who do not care is oblivious
Discrimination to those who have never been there is oblivious
They will say he is imagining
Making things up and fabricating
Many will never understand how he feels
Until it is too late for the wounds to heal
Just because he is black and not a pretty white woman
They look down disrespectfully at him like a felon
In their hearts they consider it reality
They are all over-superior to black

Racism does not start!
This is written for a person I know who is going through this emotion and I hope this cheers her up.
She is a victim of racism and all forms of discrimination
When black and a woman at the same time
To the racist you have committed a crime
Right now the racism is in its prime
Right now the discrimination is in its prime
It appears its wrong for her to earn her dime
It appears its wrong for her to be in the lime-light
Racism does not start
When you worship the racist
It is when you cease to
He or she will strike you with an open fist
Racism does not start
If you are perceived as stupid
Or have a regular simple job
Racism does not start
When you are aiming low
It only starts when you want to grow
Grow in a high-flying career
Then it becomes quite clear;
The racist thinks you should never be there
It starts when you want to grow in wisdom
It starts when you mix with others in their kingdom
Does it mean she has no right to aspire?
Or look up and aim higher
Or have any form of ambitious desires
Does it mean she cant have white friends?
Or mix and mingle with the elites
At work puppets are used as tools for mobbing
Everything around her happens so fast
She is the only one to hear about it all last
In manipulated isolation she becomes the lone outcast
The techniques are modernly vast and will continually last
Till she makes her exit and becomes a thing of the past

Racism is not always obvious

Discrimination to those who have never been there is oblivious
They will say she is imagining

Many will never understand how she feels
Until it is too late for the wounds to heal
Just because she is black and a woman
They look down disrespectfully at her
In their hearts they consider it reality
They are all over-superior to black
