Racism Rant
The red blood pulsed through his veins as his heart hammered
through his chest. His white bones felt cold and he thought he was about to
die. And the only reason for his pending death was because his heart, his
bones, his blood, his kidneys, his stomach, his lungs… All of him was wrapped
up in a packaging that they didn’t like. All of him was wrapped in a colour
that was too dark for their liking; that was too unattractive for their liking.
Somehow, his packaging made him unappealing.
But they didn’t know… they didn’t know that he was a doctor
that saved lives. They didn’t know that he was a caring father. They didn’t
know that he was a faithful husband. They didn’t know that he was a fearless
fire fighter. They didn’t know that he was a hardworking, honest man with a
beautiful heart. They didn’t know any of it because they couldn’t see past the
colour of his skin.
They were too damn shallow. To them, the outer appearance
was what defined a man. To them, the softness of his heart or the intelligence of
his brain was nothing… Because it was wrapped in a colour they didn’t like.
Unfortunately, we live in a world where the colour of your
skin defines you. We live in a world where your safety depends on the colour of
your skin. We live in a world filled with people who believe that they are
beautifully wrapped, when in fact; their insides are rotting with the hate they
so strongly hold. Our botched definition of humanity needs to be re-evaluated.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Racism NEEDS to STOP! Even an inkling of
racism needs to be put out before it grows. And that all depends on YOU.
We have the power to change the world, to remind the haters
that we are ONE human race. We have the power to demolish racism.
Stop the hate. YOU are powerful enough to stop it.
Start a revolution, stop racism.
