The Human Race
If you ever wanted to know why my alias was – Colorblind

“Racism is man’s greatest threat to man – The maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason – Abraham J. Hesahel”
Hopefully you will enjoy
I’ve been wanted to convey and give an explantation to the name Colorblind
It truly is who I am …...I couldn’t have picked a better name…...

But we hesitate to create
Blind to see that we can make a better picture
If we stopped seeing with stagnant perspectives
And make it our objective
To stay positive and forget negative
To hate another just because of the color of their skin
Is ignorant
And to think of the many kids that have and will
Be taught not to affiliate with other people
Because their colors aren’t of the same hue
Or because others don’t see with the same view
To many living in the past
Still seeing things in black and white
They only see static
They don’t get the picture
We are the picture
Every color
Every race
Every face
And racism isn’t just your clash of Black versus White thing
Its a global thing
It comes in the form of hate that derives from
Historic, cultural, religious, economic or demographic reasons
BUT FUCK THE REASONS
Living in the same season after season
No change
No progress
Where is this hate of yours taking you
Honestly what does this bring to you
What do you gain
What do you harvest
From the anger
The hatred
The violence
The murder
The silence
.......of the dead
That is of your making
From your hands
And the baby making
That you raise to be of the same image of you
A ignorant son of a bitch
That never grows to see the world for themselves
Because they are rob of their vision at birth
Implanted with the same views and mindset as yours
That continues to live on
A virus that will continue on
Living
Killing
......humanity
And it doesn’t cost a dime to cure
And rid us of this virus
We are the cure
And it just costs us some common sense
And putting a stop to the stereotyping
Racial profiling
Slavery
Racial segregation
And crimes of apartheid
Because its filing
....us apart, with the “You’s and I’s”
We are out of tuned
And fail to harmonize
So there is no harmony
So we harm-u-n-me
Gang up and form armies
Ku Klux Klan
Neo Nazis
Ms-13
Nation of Islam
To bring about a new regime
By any means necessary-
Ethnic cleansing
Hate crimes
Race wars
And genocides
We are just commencing suicide
Because we all are connected
The “U’s” N “I’s”
We make up the word “unified”
But we try to deny
That you and I
Are of the same design
We make up the world
We need to open up our eyes
And stop seeing static
And get the picture
That we are the picture
Every color
Every race
Every face
A motion picture
That is suspended in time
Never to see a happily ever after
Because we’re stuck on
The same page
The same chapter
And some of us never gotten to page one
Because we judge every book by its cover
No wonder
Why we don’t attain any knowledge
We pass the opportunity up, blinded by ignorance
Never to get the image
The image that every person is a reflection of one’s self
We all are equal
We all are people
We need to stop seeing the racial
But start seeing the ratio
The heart of racism
Is hate
And hate is a poison
That infects everything
It comes in contact with
And poison is lethal
Thus making hate lethal
Making racism the lethal ejection
That has killed billions
Effecting young minds
To grow to follow short lived footprints
To continue like reruns
When we people come to see that there is only one race

yo we need to stop harming u – n – me and be colorblind
- blind to the skin’s eye for our community
Protect our families like immunity
and under all scrutiny remember we are humanly
a woman from every skin color is a beauty queen
no time for racism – we believe in unity
Ill with this one man, great great work

wow colorblind, this is so awesome. I love this poem. The message so true, and the way you wrote it: with you heart. I can tell this is something you feel strongly about, It shows through in your words. We are a human a race, one people, I will never understand why we divide ourselves. It’s so stupid. This should be read by everyone in the world. Beautiful work, my friend.
colorblind replied
i’m glad you can feel the pulse in my words
with every line i write
i give it life
thus creating life lines
and i’m glad you can see the life i put out in this one
and yes i strongly do
feel strongly about this
its one thing that might be the end of us
stupid indeed
we dividing ourselves to merely nothing
when we should be muttiplying …..you know most of us bad at math so that probably why they dividing instead of multiplying
awwwww you made me feel special….thank you my friend
lovely comment

Excellent writing about something so important. I think people are ignorant and foolish. Too many just don’t understand, but in the end – we all are fertilizer regardless of color.

damn…. I have lived with this my whole life and am glad to see people writing about it. I am in love with an african american guy and I love in the south raised by southern black baptist, my mother married a illegal alien from mexico and my sister is dating a guy who lives still in mexico…..... imagine the way my family looks at each other…. it has completely torn me away from my whole family….. my children will never be able to know their great grandparents, but whichone will this be cheating? everyone! I wish i could wake up one day and see everyone in unison man do I wish….. but it takes time for people to shy away from everything that they have been taught from those who they look up to an follow…... and it takes people like U N I to inject our population with the idea that they could be and are wrong…..... thank you for putting out this message that i live my life around! Beautiful and very powerful piece!
colorblind replied

Daz, this is flippin fantastic man!!! Such power and emotion, and you speak of a sad truth, when will people just open their eyes and their hearts and stop all the hate? Why can’t we just live in peace and accept people for who we are, the color of the skin shouldn’t matter we all breathe the same air, we all bleed and feel things. I am feeling this poem Daz, and it really pack a punch, Hopefully one day people will see before it is too late. Be well dear friend! you are simply amazing!!!!
