I am a human considered White
Simply because my skin is light
I know it’s hard to tell us apart
But it’s important to try,
So we can make a new start.
Some of us harbor hatred,
But others make mistakes.
To you, both are painful,
But to us, the contrast is great.
You will have to forgive us,
And give us a chance,
To unlearn the racism
That has us entranced.
So, please be patient,
We’re getting a clue,
There really is hope,
We’ll stop doing this to you.
If you’ve given up hope,
Just remember what’s true:
There really is hope
We’ll stop doing this to you.
I’m Sorry.
