The Squares lived happily, in their square houses, in their square yards, in their square town. One day, a family of Circles moved in from the west. "Get out of here, roundies!" shouted one of the Squares. "Why?" asked one of the Circles. "Because this is a metaphor for racism!"

We all want to Support stopping racism, because we sent black and white men to die in war together, before we could be educated together, The end gender inequality, Because women can't where cloths, and feel safe, walking down a street alone, with out feeling were going to get ***** Same or different *** relationships, Because the way you love your significant other, wouldn't be the same if they changed there gender to the other? Transgender rights, Because there a man everywhere else but in there pants, And men don't get cervical cancers, So yes legally changing my gender won't help me if i need a treatment only a lady would get, and this goes vice a versa, But I shouldn't have to worry about any other pains, except the possibility of one in my unwanted **** **** victims, including males, Yes you, Feminist views, Please just Stop over looking, Men go though it too. And we all may know men may be the main cause, Women have just as much play, No human, Wants an unwanted Violation, to come into any contact with them so personally, See all these things, we want to stop, and they need to, but, When u last walked down the street, what stranger did your Arrogant eyes peek? they saw someone, and you though they were, too fat, too small, too tall, a **** needs to button up, he used to pop pills, now he cant pay his bills, and there's so many I'm leaving out, like what they thought about you, so you see, each of these little groups, we just pass each other on the street, even when we didn't even meet, it's human nature, our natural order, to insult each other, some just get the really blunt edge. maybe we should change how we think and act, before we go wishing for things out of our knack's.

In Spanish, VIVIR means To Live, the proper conjugation of which to when you say something as improper as “I live” would simply be translated to “Yo Vivo”. I live, as a Colombian-American. I live, as “You don’t look Hispanic” I live, “Woah! You and your brother look nothing alike. You’re so… white.” I live, “My mom came home once and talked about a man who simply replied with a horribly pronounced “Me gusta” when my mom said she was Hispanic.” I live, “My dad condones abusive behavior because he thinks Latina aggression is **** I live, my mom asking me “Would you rather celebrate the Sweet Sixteen or have a quinceanera party?” I live, as the white boy sitting across the room in Spanish class asking “When will I need this in real life?” I live, as the “Yes I DO have a friend with a skin complexion similar to mine, and yes, he is Hispanic.” I live, most of my friends are beautiful people of color. I live, when will you open up the tab in Google and search some Hispanic History to fill your mind instead of “Latina **** I live, the messages on the Internet saying “You’re Hispanic? I bet you’re great in bed.” I live, there are NO gender neutral nouns in Spanish I live, yes I DO love coffee I live, no it did NOT stunt my growth I live, one kiss per cheek at family meet-ups I live, “Eskimo” nose rubs I live, "if you’re hispanic, why aren’t your ears pierced?" I live, being expected to remember Spanish just because it was my first language, but growing up with an American dad made me whiter than fresh bed-sheets sold in America, made in South America, Hecha en Peru. I live, my mom breaking into tears as she is so proud that I can sing in Spanish I live, my mom used to be so embarrassed, when I replied “un poco” to her friends asking “Tu Hablas Espanol?” I live, "if you’re Hispanic, is your mom an Alien?" I live, "But your dad looks so white!" I live, being subject to racism hidden in a joke, hidden in a remark about how pale I am, hidden behind a judgmental look, hidden behind a scoff, a laugh, a pity shrug, a fetishized assumption. I live the bulletproof clothing and horrible crimes I am warned about when I say I wanna go to Colombia I wanna go to my mom’s home. I live, as a Colombian-American. I live. Yo vivo.

i'm not a slave of compliments. I won't overdose on injections of racism. The only addiction i have it of the melanin in my skin. My heritage is not a sin. My womanhood has always been the evidence of excellence. My faith is not a bad habit I need rehabilitation from. If discrimination was a drug i would be high every day

I just want to take a moment to address a very real problem. Racism. I find that the most racist people are usually southern Christians. And this I don't understand at all.. Christians read the Bible and live by what it says. At least, they claim to. The Bible teaches love of all men. Everyone is made in the image of God, the Creator, the Almighty. Since all men are made in the image of God, Are all men not equal? Every man is equal to every other man. No person is superior or inferior. Thus, racism goes against what the Bible is supposed to teach. So a Christian's racism is against their religion and should be frowned upon. Also, Southerners are typically the most religious. Why then is racism such an issue in the south? It makes no sense for Christians to be racist. Those who are racist Christians are ignorant and obviously not true Christians. And to anyone who chooses to use their childhood upbringings as an excuse: That makes you even more ignorant. You should be able to think for yourself and realize that your prejudice is idiotic. And because you claim to have been raised into racism, you are simply blaming your parents for your idiocy and they are just as ignorant as you are.

Is there something wrong with being black? Different skin color tone war, is that what our heroes fought for? Why is it necessary for white men to form similes about our color? Is this freedom or what? I feel like being black is a sin. What's really funny is racism is found in the black community only because it has turned on itself “I'm light skinned I'm better than” “dark skinned is ugly” is this what we call love? Ubuntu? if so then I want none it. It's amlaot disgusting how we can't show love to each other but expect love from another kind. by: ofentse_tsie & dvniel

Hindi kulay ang pawang panig Walang lulusong sa anumalya Wala ring nararapat na makiniig. Sa sirkulasyong may kaltas Mananatiling may lamat Bawat pahina'y puti May punit, may dungis At pagka gabi'y Nasa kalye ang dilim. Ang tinig ay patas Walang sumasanib Kung walang manghihikayat Mananatili ang kamalian Ng lipunang hindi nilisan ang kwadra Ang sinulid ay rorolyo At hindi na muling masisilayan pa. Kung ang puti at itim ay kulay Ito'y hindi nararapat na pinagninilay-nilayan Salungat ang daan Patungo sa liwanag at kadiliman Bagkus ito'y pawang Lalang para sa iisang sanlibutan.

The wind ruffles my hair as I sit atop the hill and stare at what I see. A normal person would see buildings, cars, anything you would find in a typical concrete jungle. However, I see racism and sexism. Prejudice everywhere. People assume. People speak without knowing what the truth is. People hurt others intentionally These people who hurt others do not stop to consider that their victims are human, like them. All of us, mere flesh and blood. We're the same. Male, female, homosexual. Asian, Caucasian, Middle Eastern. We're all bones, muscles, blood. We are the same. There's no need to discriminate.

Prejudice

Why is it so cool to hate on a group for their fashion sense? Or that they like to be off the mainstream? You are doing the same thing that people were doing to the grunge goths punks hippies beatniks flappers and they all did something with their counterculture. Ever think that ours is the hipsters? Not really, they've been around since *The *** Pistols* actually they started them. They made it cool to go to a thrift store and buy things out of comfort then rip it up change it so it looked brand new. Punk that made Hipsters. But now they are just some fad that people hate on. Just because they like to talk about indie bands knowing them first wearing band tee's of bands they listen too wearing vintage and retro clothing likes reading being in a cafe organic food vegan. Stereotyping a group is all people did. Now I can't wear things or do things because some *** hole is going to say **"Ha you're such a ******* hipster!"** Why don't we stop hating people on what they wear because how do you expect to get past racism homophobia sexism ableism fatphobia transphobia prejudice if we can't even get past how people dress?

Tell the voices in your head To form a picture of me instead Remind yourself of who we were, remember how much tears you've shed And although those feelings inside you are dead As long as you loved me, I could silence all what they said Free your insecurities and circumventing acts Try not to be fooled by people's opinions and start learning to accept the facts We live in a world of segregation Molestation Racism and human spring deforestation We fight beasts, beasts of our conscious, and we claim our prize We **** zombies, zombies of our morality no matter what size We strangle dragons, dragons of laws that no one abides And you come to me afraid… Why do you come to me afraid…?

Africa, Oh Africa! Africa, Oh Africa! My Motherland, Why not take pride in who you are? When you converse, You use the language of the West. The offspring of the same parents, And still use the language of the West. Your own children try to distance themselves and dress and talk like Those from the West. Your airwaves are filled with music, Fast beats, foul language and heavy metal from the West. Even the food you eat All processed and purchased From the West. Your fields are dry. You laugh at traditional foods and ceremonies. You have forgotten who you are. Your heritage cries out From the depths of the tombs you're filling up with immorality and your self-destructive ways. You despise who are, You ridicule who you are, You try so hard to change Who you are Your heroes and comrades In entertainment and politics In the community, the society Have been overshadowed By those from the West. Remember them, Revere them, More so alive than after death. Resurrect Ubuntu, Show a little compassion For a fellow who needs it. Stop the hate, tribalism And racism. This path of destruction Will get you nowhere. Let peace rule in the Motherland. Respect your elders, Salute the teachers Who try to lead your youth In the right direction. Teach your children well Violence is not the way The pen is still mightier Than the sword Eradicate illiteracy End child labour and Marriages. Honour, love and protect Your women and children. They will give you respect and happiness in return. Follow the footprints Of your forebears. Live in harmony with Yourself. Africa, Oh Africa! Africa, Oh Africa! Take note Before it's too late!

Dear Racism, You, that exist but should never have been. Your children, Hatred and Division have grown up among us. Rooted themselves wherever they pleased. You have caused enough pain. You will be silenced. Today we took the 1st step, as ONE Nation. Today we remembered. Today we said thank you. My heart is heavy, yet calm. Walking among my fellow brothers and sisters, I sensed the same in them. We have been changed. Liberated. Ubuntu. Freedom is ours for the taking. The long walk has been walked for us. We need to be as strong now. We need to carry on the work. Our leaders need to lead, by following the dreams of the people, Our leaders need to put themselves last, and the people they serve, first. Let it not be in vain. For then I fear, we are all lost. Dear Racism, Goodbye. And good riddance. Sincerely, The Nation of UBUNTU.

In the streets I am not wanted In this nation I am not wanted In the streets terror takes over In the nation arguments are heard Separating colored from white Separating imperfects from perfects Segregation is a way of life Racism is a daily routine Equal rights isn’t in our vocabulary Freedom for colored isn’t thought of Stereotyping, judging, terrorizing Where is my freedom I’ve longed for? Where is my holy land? Where is my safe place? The north is helping, But is it enough? I feel a change coming The change in the nation Speaks of freedom and Ends segregation It will make me Feel wanted in the streets Feel wanted in the nation But for now I feel as if I’m Not wanted here My skin may be different, But I have a heart and I am still a human being Created by our Holy Father So where is my freedom?

Intolerant to Tolerance (Poem by Serenus) They tolerate your gayness You should be so glad That they’re not indifferent to your difference They’re not the one’s calling you F*g They tolerate your blackness Racism… They’re much bigger In their minds They’re colorblind They’ve never uttered The word N*gger They tolerate your religion Muslims, Jews, And Christians Believe what you want to believe They tolerate your decision They tolerate your opinion They tolerate your facts They tolerate your voice They even let you talk back They can stomach you as a person Isn’t that honorable? Doesn’t it feel great… To be so tolerable? We all need to pull together And strive to be prosperous It’s time to move forward And be intolerant to tolerance.
