Mixed race,
am I supposed to be labeled for having
white skin?
Why can't people see the person within?
I feel sorry for those who judge others
for not fitting into their standards.
It's sad really,
that there are still people who can't see past their own point of view.
How can you learn if all you see is you?
I am a mutt just like you,
I come from a family of different cultures and diverse colors.
We all do.
There's no difference between you and I expect I can see past the color of your skin.
Underneath the cover of skin we all look the same, we are human.
Black, yellow, and white I am all of these put into a human package.
That's what being human is,
get use to it.
Love yourself first so you can love someone else.*

I have been told by many people that I am not a mixed race because they think my skin color is my race. Hahahaha! Oh how wrong you are. By the way my mom is Scottish and Eskimo, my dad American Indian and Italian. I also have cousins in Africa who are Black French so my dad more likely has some black french in his blood. I am proud of being a mixed race.
