Sometimes this colour distinction

egotisticity punches me in the face,

not only me, but my African friends

I must admit some white people

are really nice, but some to are just impossible

I offer to help one of them

with homework and she looks at me

like I'm some monster from the unfortunate

DNA of Africa, HOW?

Africa is a blessed continent,

I offer a handshake to one guy,

a he stares at me like I'm some demon,

you know what I think of

this rigid perception?

Well most racist have been injected

with the syrum of wrong knowledge,

black does not mean inferiority,

black does not mean evil,

black is beauty,

black is the talisman of the south

and if you come to America,

you will see the black talisman and flying snow,

catalyses of success,

differences are not meant for division,

differences make us strong,

so quit racism!

Please throw away this ideology

the symbol of inferiority and superiority

because friendship is the similarity

in the differences,

we might be different from each other,

but that does not mean we cannot

be one,

we can still work together for a better future,

throw away this wrong knowledge

and quit racism!

It seems this instance,

puts us Africans in the boxing rings

where some of the white people

punch us with rude comments

well, all I am saying is it is a cyanide

to unity,

let's be one,

quit racism!
