I gotta agree with Baz here, GuruChick123 what the hell are you talking about? Why do you think you were mistreated based on your race? Were you the only black person there that night? (That seems highly unlikely) That just seems to be an arbitrary excuse. And why talk about it here? It has nothing to do with the clip...

YOU should not judge people by their SKIN COLOR nor their Physical Orientation, but by their condition of the HEART.......!

Jehovah God does not tolerate RACISM, and He will not accept it into his kingdom, so if you think that it is okay to hate other races because they are ten shades darker than you are VERY mistaken dude.......!

What in God's name are you talking about? There is nothing about race in this poem.

I felt so hurt...I guess it was because of the color of my skin, black, my features, why is being black such a nasty concept, Black people are humans just like any other race, we exhibit feelings, emotions, internal pain, joy, love, happiness, we excrete waste the same way as sny other race, we are no different from any other people, nations, tribes, tougue or any other entity.
