I was raised to know the difference between
Good & Evil
Right & Wrong
Nice & Mean
Easy & Hard
Rich & Poor
Healthy & Sick
But my family never really talked about black and white
Why it matters
If it matters
When it matters
Who is smarter
Who is better
Who is stronger
I’ve always known that you are you and I am me and when we’re together we’re as happy as can be.
Do you think it matters that they see me as black and you are white?
