Stop Racism!! ( I know my messages aren't very popular but this one is BEST! )

( Not bragging btw in the title )

A BLACK MAN WALKS INTO A CAFE EARLY ONE MORNING AND NOTICES HE'S THE ONLY ONE THERE

AS HE SAT DOWN HE NOTICED A WHITE MAN SAT BEHIND HIM, THE WHITE MAN SAID "COLOURED PEOPLE ARN'T ALLOWED IN HERE" .

THE BLACK MAN REPLIED...

"WHEN I WAS BORN I WAS BLACK

WHEN I GREW UP I WAS BLACK

WHEN I'M SICK I'M BLACK

WHEN I GO IN THE SUN I'M BLACK

WHEN I'M COLD I'M BLACK

AND WHEN I DIE I'M BLACK.

BUT YOU SIR...

WHEN YOU WERE BORN YOU WERE PINK

WHEN YOU'RE SICK YOU'RE GREEN

WHEN YOU STAY IN THE SUN YOU'RE RED

WHEN YOU'RE COLD YOU TURN BLUE

AND WHEN YOU DIE YOU TURN "PURPLE."

"AND YET YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO CALL ME COLOURED"

THE BLACK MAN TURNED BACK AROUND AND THE WHITE MAN WALKED AWAY.

Ive heared the poem before "/

I guess you didn't write that, but it's a good poem, everyone's coloured, as far as I know no-ones got clear skin, so I don't like referring to people as that either.

Racism should just stop! Everyone should be treated equally because you can't make a RAINBOW with just one colour!

I Agree. But no ones yellow. Green. Or Purple :P
But racism is bad , in azn. My skool is against it.
But ive seen many people be racist.
Make a petition.

But now that's just biased towards black people :s
If you're trying to say treat everyone equally, thats not the way to go about it, that's calling white people coloured so that poem is just rascist the other way round towards white people!

I hate racist people

it was writen quite a while ago, when rasim was still pretty strong and has a good message, being writen from the side being discrimated agasit at the time.
We did the poem in english not that long ago.

Athogh i find it quite sad how anit rasim, is just becomeing rasism. You cant call someone coloured? i mean who the hell isnt coulored wether you blue green red white or black, your all coloured in some way?
You cant even polity coreelct speking, idnetife someone by there colour, as in a photo with lots of people.
Its becomeing stupid now. Everyones human, everyone has pigment in there skin, Thats not going to chnage, and i dont even know why anyone would wnat it to, but the more rediculus these things get the worse it will get.

The whole way the rasim issue is treated is underlying rasist, it says you cant say somthing about a certain group? Thats saying there are differnt groups, while the true message should be, were all one group, were all human are we not (well most of us).
Half the laws only defedt the prupos of freespeach, rather than actaly correcting any of the probelms, there aimed at covering up, rather than fixing the underlying issuses?
Wich i dont think is ever going to solve any problems.
