Racism and the Culture Of Racism
We must be aware…..,

It’s a slur and a swear….,
The Culture Of Racism….! ! !
Can’t turn your back….,
On the Culture Of Racism….,
Or you’ll feel the whack…,

It’s hard to believe….

That’s why we all grieve….,
The Culture Of Racism…! ! !
We must face the facts….,

Cause we’ve seen the attacks…..,
Of the Culture Of Racism….,
It follows us all…,

Sexism, like racism, goes with us into the next century. I see class warfare as overshadowing both.

It is only human supremacy, which is as unacceptable as racism and sexism, that makes us afraid of being more inclusive.

The racism
The racism erases
the beautiful memories
and it believes
in the perfect
world
The racism is
a too big
and horrible problem
It is a
wrong and impure
mistake
The racism is
a bad and
public thought
The racism is
played by the
poors of reasons
The racism doesn't
live in the
jungle but it
lives in the
modern society
I'm against the
racism
The racists are
cursed because they
are false
For me the
racism resides in
the hate
For the innocents
the racism is
lost war
For me the
racism doesn't exist
in a citizen
world
For me the
racism is a
terrible suffering
It can't stand
the harmony and
the heart of
a bay
It survives in
the evident darkness
The racism hates
the comfortable and
hospitable villa
The racism serves
the big Evil
It doesn't use
the magic
It wants to
destroy the balance
between the people
For the angels
the racism is
a shame and
a bright lie

Pen Force
Don't let the pen lay idle
Where innocent blood shed;
Where there are starving
Children to be fed.
Don't let the pen
Stop dripping ink
Where racism
Competes with sexism
And Babylon celebrates the dead.
Don't let the pen
Loses its grip
When humanity
Is going down
On a sinking ship.
Don't let them ban the pen
Where it cuts
Like a two-edged sword.

Evil is the shadow of angel. Just as there are angels of light, support, guidance, healing and defense, so we have experiences of shadow angels. And we have names for them: racism, sexism, homophobia are all demons - but they're not out there.

The Dream World
The world is peaceful and promising
The world is full of opportunities and beautiful
The people are helpful and always smiling
The people are respectful and dutiful
There is no killing
No sexism or racism
No lying
And then I woke up and returned to the real world...

Isms
You come on over right through my front door
Strapped with all your baggage
What you bringin' that for
Don't want no disrespect cuz we all know the score
But you need to put time in
At the common sense store
Yes yes y all you're brain washed all in your head
Let's make one thing crystal clear
We don't want no ism here
How you say you hate me and you're not ashamed
It's just insecurity that's causing you pain
Well if you can't get past that we are not the same
Then realize that ism is a part of the blame
Racism - we don't want it here
Sexism - we don't need it here
Fascism - we don't want it here
Keep that ism out of my ear
Terrorism - we don't want it here
Leftism - we don't need it here
Fakeism - we don't want it here
We don't want it we don't need it

First there was racism. Then liberals created institutional racism and coded racism. You can only hear it with a dog whistle.

Consistent Excellence
Go...
Ask anyone of your neighbors,
How difficult it is...
To produce consistent excellence.
With a doing done you do,
To ensure your life...
Is lived to make sense.
With the best from yourself,
To show those your excellence...
Is not some luck that has been sent.
Your excellence is what is meant.
Go...
Ask anyone of your neighbors,
And when you are done...
Ask your friends and family too,
If consistent excellence with a bit of sweat...
Is something done you know they do,
For themselves.
And nothing from them to you to prove.

Racism: A Brief Analasis
What is racism?
Is it one person's way of calling himself better?
Is it humans putting each other down simply because how they were born?
What is racism?
Is it a group claiming rights to life?
Is it making someone into a Jerusalem thorn?
'What is racism? '
Many have asked such a thing.
It is stubborn souls judging taste by the color of the corn.

What I've always said is that I'm opposed to institutional racism, and I would've, had I've been alive at the time, I think, had the courage to march with Martin Luther King to overturn institutional racism, and I see no place in our society for institutional racism.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
So Many Changes
As I sit here thinking of what to say
I sort through my thoughts of what's important to me.
There has been so many changes, yet so much more to be done
And a whole world out there for me to see.
The importance of the individual is the single greatest
achievement of the 20th century.
I dream of a time when we can all come together
To better our community relationships
Which could enable us to make a difference
Ridding us of racism, sexism, greed, and
ruthless businesses.
In order to succeed in the future
It's imperative that we prepare to accept human diversity
with respect and without compromise.
So we have to ask our self's, What surprises does the 20th century
hold for us?

Bigotry Creates Brutal False Illusions
take ego out of cruelty loathed racism
strip supremacy from intolerant racism
beware whirlpool of self projections
bigotry creates brutal false illusions
prevents us from seeing reflections
vicious ruthless malice dread racism
is an atrocity eyesore virtue detests
