Racism


You can’t deny that in our community, racism is still a hot issue. Why? I can tell you. I can’t get into peoples head. I can’t feel why they feel hate for people from a other race.  It’s still here, but less as before.








 
This is a perfect song that “explains” the hate in our community. Where is the love? People are getting colder, we only think of making money and we are guided by our selfishness. 
There is one line in the lyrics that explain the weirdness or the tought behind the hole thing of racism. I like the sentence because it captures the truth in only a few words.
These days people only think about their career and how they can get better, becoming the best and have a good life. It doesn't matter what they have to do for it.
Sometimes I catch myself on doing that. It’s not that bad, if you don’t overdo it.


'But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate'

I think this speaks for itself. When I read it, it's just the way it is. But you can decide for yourself.




 
 
Mr. Cab Driver won't you stop to let me in
Mr. Cab Driver don't you like my kind of skin
Mr. Cab Driver you're never gonna win
Isn’t it crazy that you can’t get a cap because your skin doesn’t have the right colour?   
I think it’s crazy! Imagine: You can’t get a cap because you have blue eyes, You can’t get a cap because your hear is red...
I can’t imagine that these things could happen. It’s just weird and unthinkable.
 
I’m happy that to day racism isn’t that big as before. But of course we can’t deny that racism still a big problem is in our community.
