Distinctions in the White Race



Distinctions within the White Race
Some whites are truthful, just...sincere;
            Trust worthy, kind and genuine...their motives...always pure!
While other whites are cruel, malicious, mean, and vile...unkind, to say the least—
Their wickedness reminds me of a venomous and vicious snake that slithers in the grass.
Their hearts are full of wrath and crap; their minds...stuck in the past.
            The lies that their ancestors taught control their entire lives.
They’re dreadful, heartless human beings, who live a fantasy—
A yesteryear...brutal and cruel...a time of slavery,                                                              When blacks were poor, and whites had wealth...were entitled to the best;                
 When these two worlds—one black, one white—distinct and far apart,                                
 Existed in complete turmoil... no hope of one accord.
But, other whites are different folks.  They learned well from the past.
They gave their hearts and souls to God...let Him control their lives.
They learned to love all humankind, to understand their needs;
They learned that blacks are, too, endowed with needs the same as theirs.
They know of slavery’s dreadful wrath...the pain and loss blacks felt;
And they will be the first to say, “We’re sorry for those days.
Now, we’re resolved to make this world, for all, a better place.”

They gladly join our President...are with him all the way;
For in their hearts, they understand he is a God-sent man,
Who cares for all of humankind.  His plan reflects his stand,
And for all people—blacks and whites—will build a better world.
