Racism breeds different emotions
Please stop all the negative commotion
Men are created equal
And yet, we discriminate
Creating nothing but hate

Stop all the hate
Learn to appreciate
Diversity can become reality
If we learn to live and love
Stop all the hating
People are people
Just realize
Everybody is the same
You are dark
I am light
You are ridiculed in my town
I am shunned in yours
Together, we can make it change
Race is only skin deep
No genetic difference to be found
The color of your skin
May be darker than mine
Personally, you compliment mine
Isn't racial diversity completely divine?
