I'm White, you're black. What other difference do you see? None. When I was a child, I didn't really understand why some people looked differently than I, but I never disliked them. I just wondered. As I grew, I heard crude remarks and harsh jokes spoken against people who were Black. I also heard many Black people speak against Whites. I never understood why people said things like that simply because of their color. I appreciate every person. I don't care if you're Red, Yellow, Black or White. I love you, as God loves you. In his eyes, you are beautiful. I will follow in his footsteps. I will never become the people I hated listening to. I'm White, You're Black. What other difference do you see?
