Racism- the reality is a world of color.
A friend (and client) from across the alley behind my house gave me this. Coincidentally, I was at her house trying to fix a printer that would not print in color. My friend Bettye is an African American.

This was written by a black gentleman in Texas.

When I born, I black.
When I grow up, I black.
When I go in sun, I black.
When I cold, I black.
When I scared, I black.
When I sick, I black.
When I die, I still black.

You white folks...
When you born, you pink.
When you grow up, you white.
When you go in sun, you red.
When you cold, you blue.
When you scared, you yellow.
When you sick, you green.
When you bruised, you purple.
And when you die, you gray.

So who you callin' colored folks?

3. I don't know if the attribution is correct...
About 7 years ago there was a music video replayed endlessly on VIVA, (German MTV clone) that was the FUNNIEST shit I EVER saw. I laughed till the tears rolled every time it came on. "When you sick, you be green. Take a look at yoself man, You look B-A-A-D" The punch line was "And you got the NERVE to call ME "colored."

5. Right on
Everybody is so intermingled nowadays wtf is the difference anyway. Instead of having a bunch of different categories of race we should just consider ourselves part of the human race. It would end a lot of problems.
