The Racist Effect

The Racist Effect

By Erick Sandoval

All of these people talking and being racist

They think they’re so cool but they won’t say it to our faces

People thinking they are superior because of their skin color

Well all I hear is bullshit because we are all the same

In our own declaration it states we are all born equal

Y’all check again because what they’re saying shouldn’t be legal

You make us hurt more than stubbing your toe

It is sad how it’s almost as common as a TV show

We see police officers use force against minorities

How can this be happening within our own authorities

You people inhale oxygen but exhale prejudice

We should all spread love not create a nemesis

I see all that’s going on and just ask how

People are just crushing our emotions as if they had a snow plow

I just watch and ask myself how is this a reality

The fact that we are fighting each other is all a big tragedy

This is not the way life has to be

We can all just live together happily

But no

Too many people saying we are irrelevant

Saying that we are not white so we are not intelligent

Shots fired at us for reaching into our pocket

It is so damn powerful it’s as if they almost shoot a rocket

So silly how they say we are bad because our name might not be Billy and we like chili and cross the border all willy nilly

They say other races are not pretty

That our lifestyles are shitty

And when they see us on the street all they think is that we are a pity

Are you kidding me, our basic rights are being taken away

Making people want to slowly fade away

It is like a nightmare repeating itself every day

Calling police when you see us because you are afraid of being abducted

But if you see, minorities are the reason this country was constructed

How about you all just quit and make your life productive

Love and Peace is what makes this world great

But all I see people just distributing hate

We need to discontinue this before it spreads at a high rate

People are giving racism to people like serving food on a plate

You can’t just show love for your own race

Because it only leaves space to discriminate

And that just produces hate for everyone else to taste
