silenced

Silenced

It would be wrong

To be honest.

 

Here.

 

There’s no love for a white girl

Even if she’s fearless to carry

The weight of hate

And fearless to lay it down

When it’s unfair.

 

Does he really think me ‘gorgeous’

Or is it only my skin?

And I, I loving the “other”

The black man

Without a license

To survive

Can I see him as hu-man?

How to make sense of the

Churning, burning

Want

To cross unchartered territory

In a forsaken desert

Plucking cactus fruit

 

And I

I as a woman

In a no(wo)mans land

Without an ear to hear

And I as a

onkey

Pilgrim white girl white * * * * *

You don’t belong here white girl.

The starvation pangs of racism

… hurt us all.

 

How to rid me

of racism history

All at once me

In my skin.

But not me

In me.

If it's true love, then it doesn't matter. But it will be a rough journey.

people are humans first and foremost; the colour of your skin should be no more important than the colour of your eyes. it is a crying shame there is so much ignorance and hate in this world

[AwdreeHpburn]

That says a lot about the state of our society.

[ShySoul]

To quote a great man, we should be judged not by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character. True love transcends all boundaries, especially silly ones like race.

[valenski]

Things arent Black and white yet people still judge you by the colour of your skin. "All animal are equal but some are more equal than others."- Animal Farm (novel).

[ShySoul]

Love the quote valenski, great novel.

 

We should focus on the things that unite us, not divide us. As I've said for years, we are all part of the one race that truly matters, the human race.

yes- racism in relationships and racism in friendships is incredibly painful...
