White Men And Black Men

I’m tired of hearing nonsense about white men and black men.
Furthermore, I’ve had enough of this racial talk.
Down with colour prejudice and racial discrimination!

Caucasian, Negro, Indian, Chinese and so on are people.
I wonder what you idiots think they are.
Do the so-called intelligent ones have anything to say?

When I look at a person, I don’t see colour or shade.
Neither do I see nationality, race or status.
I see a man or a woman, an equal human being.

You use complexion to refer to a person most of the time.
For example, you say a black girl and a white boy.
Why don’t you educated fools just say a boy and a girl?

You talk about a person by his or her race.
Can’t you say a man instead of saying a Chinese man?
I strongly condemn colour prejudice and racism.

Don’t tell me anything about a white man or a black man.
Tell me something about a man, a child of God.
I say you’re nothing but evil-minded racists.

You regard your brothers and sisters as less than human beings.
So tell me, scorners, what does that make you?
I see people as I see myself, not as white men and black men.
