racist

Why I must be a racist:
I'm white
I own a home
I have a job
I'm not poor

I don't live in the ghetto
I have white friends
I go to the mall
I'm white

Why I must not be a racist
I'm English French German Irish Scottish Canadian
My husband is Japanese
My friends run the ethnic scale
From personal experience I understand
pain abuse poverty loss disappointment alienation hunger fear anger
I have been
put down ignored objectified discarded feared threatened

so racism must be in the eyes
of the
beholder
huh!
