When I born, I black.
When I grow up, I black.
When I go in sun, I black.
When I cold, I black.
When I scared, I black.
When I sick, I black.
And when I die, I still black.
You white folks......
When you born, you pink.
When you grow up, you white.
When you go in sun, you red.
When you cold, you blue.
When you scared, you yellow.
When you sick, you green.
When you bruised, you purple.
And when you die, you gray.
So who you callin' colored
I'm kinda beige
All I have to say...is you gave me a VERY needed laugh
Ty Defender!!
agape,
Utopian Raindrops
so if we're white why are we always singin the blues?
people are people and colors are crayons......
This made me laugh as well. So true!!!!!!!!
and when we die of cancer
we're non-color,
and when we die in war,
we're non -color.
and when we lose a child,
we feel the same pain,
and when we go through divorce,
we feel the same hurt.
I'm tired of this
black
and white,
we bleed
the same.

Amen deddaisy
thank you prisca. I'm so fricking tired of this black and white bullshit...........we are PEOPLE, ok? If you are an asshole, I don't give a flying frick if you're green, purple or red, I DON'T TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY! And if you are intelligent and have a legitimate bitch, I don't give a flying frick if you're green, purple, or red! I'll take you seriously!
That's why I kind of like the Internet, we don't really know if someone is female or male, black, white, or purple! We just have their words to go on. That's the way it should be! This blasted race shit is boring.....I don't give a shit what color you are, I'm more into intelligence and experience. Come on people, we're beyond this shit, or so I thought.......
we bleed ~ the same
Thanx, that was beautiful Daisy
Dedaisy, thanks. When in Vietnam, the unit I served with saw no color distinction. We all covered and cared about ach other. Today, I'm a member of a site made up of guys that served in that unit and there is still no color distinction between us.
Like you, I would like to see it get to where we are all simply humans and varying shades of the same color. I hope to see it in my lifetime, but have doubts
