You're Racist — But We're The Same Race

Is it possible to celebrate the colors of fall whilst condemn the colors of skin?

You're Racist — But We're The Same Race
Pinterest

Ten fingers, ten toes,

Two hands, two feet,

Two arms, two legs,

Two eyes, two ears,

One mouth, one heart,

One body, one soul,

One race;

Human.

You are the earthliest, sunniest reflection of me, as I am you; equal in intrinsic degree of both flesh and blood. Our race is born of an identical and distinct physio and psychological disposition. And though hearts are so warm and capable of such potential, we self-destruct. Humanity’s social, oceanic wave of push-and-pull results in tragedy and terror; war or high tide? As a racial unison, our aspiration of kinship is not deterred due to variances in the shade of our skin, yet, because of transparent people; empty of morale — filled of invisible ignorance.

How can you degrade the skin of others to dirt, yet, manage to cleanse your own in the holiest of water? From a young age we are trained, or perhaps, brainwashed, to comprehend a sea of realistically-inapplicable skills, and yet, we are not taught the basic foundations of respect. These children grow, equally as smart as they are oblivious, to aspire to create a utopia that is ostensibly-encompassed of optical illusions. Consequently, our blooming world now is drowning in a plethora of egoistic intelligentsia, like yourself -- the narrow-minded who acquire and exercise complex, unnatural formulas, but cannot comprehend the most basic, fundamental teaching of our biology.

Generation after generation, we have failed to recognize truth because humans have fallen victim to one of the deadliest of the seven sins; greed. And as cyclical as generations are birthed and deceased, brisk air of the fall will begin to flirt with the late months of summer – you will the first one to compliment the leaves with colors all contradicting to your own. The raking of leaves, pumpkin-patch picking, and camera flash clicking; your intrinsic affiliation adheres more to the season of the dying, than it does to those of your own human race; heartbeats and thriving.

Provocateur of the prejudice.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
