Liar.
You choose not to outcast them for something they cannot help
For fear of being called racist.
They have gone through hardships
That you are denying them
Because you claim colorblindness.
In your head we are all equal,
We have the same opportunities,
And skin color is never an issue.
You may say we no longer live in that time
But discrimination and prejudice are breathing still.
Deny them of their blood and culture,
Tell them it doesn’t matter.
They will throw in your face the sacrifices of their people
And tell you to say it again.Â
