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
