Being white on a dark starry night conjures memories of apparitions bedecked in flapping bedsheets.
Being yellow abroad. Cheap goods and Takeaways is an approximation of what they think of you.
Being brown they see menial workers and illegals with a propensity for violence and drug related crimes.
Being Red they put you in a mind box where endangered drunks and gamblers live as shadows of a perfect human specimen in a reality called a reservation.
We brought bows and arrows to a gun fight and we lost. The spears, leather shields and war-paint were no help either. In spite of their bravery and enthusiasm.
Being colored they always have something to say or think. But the scientists would have us believe that black is not a color. Black is the absence of color and white is the presence of all color possible in the color spectrum. How do you think rainbows are born? From the rays of the sun. The light shows off her coat of many colors to announce the end of the heavenly down pour.

Black race, white race … Fulani, Apache, Jewish, Igala, Viking, Celt … or Anglo-saxon. There is only one human race.
Covid 19 has made this fact clear with indiscriminate infections and deaths.
Thank God when I bother to truly get to know you I see you for who you really are.
Selah !
