One is the makeup.
The other is the shade.
Like the coffee and cream many drinks every single day.

Somewhere, in each state coffee and cream must exist?
And along with it comes to prejudice.

The white female with the black guy.
To some it's new.
To others no major surprise.

Or the beautiful black female with the white guy.
To some it's new.
To others, something many demises.

Most of this version lies in the opinions of slavery.
Where the female slave was servant and willing or unwilling lover to her master?

The first version lies in choice.
For there was a time when a black male best not even approach her.
Now times have changed?

Still, mindests of racism remains.
Except coffee and cream aren't fading away.

We see this in other races too.
But it's the coffee and cream version that offends the most.
