I stood in the mirror and I saw a smiling color looking right into my worried eyes.
I was born black and I never knew anyone would have a problem with people being black.
Why would anyone treat me bad because of my color? But I didnāt choose my color, itās a gift from my makerā.
Racism! I never knew you ever existed, just a naive girl with a proud color.
Racism! do you know why I never knew you ever existed? It was because I was always surrounded by people with the same color. Racism! You never showed your frowned face in my country, you hid your face from me because I approached you with a smile.
You thought I was to do same by frowning but I showed my teeth with ear piercing giggles and you decided to smile back because my smile was contagious.
Racism! you told me you would change your name because I didnāt like it.
You said you will change it to many beautiful names such as Pluralism , Anti-discrimination, Fairness, Tolerance and many more.
When will you do that Racism! because am now scared of your name , please change it quickly, Racism!
