How do you hate a color?

By Day’Nazia Lyn

I get it
It’s something your not used to
It’s comes in different colors
But why?
Are you that childish that you can’t let people live their lives? My skin color won’t kill you
You’re scared of a color….
How?
Why?
What sense does that make?

Just because your ancestors didn’t like black people People of color
Doesn’t mean you have to
Just because your neighbors

Friends
Or other people don’t like black people
DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE TO HOP ON THE TREND OF HATING PEOPLE OF COLOR

You don’t see us having a group hating on white people like the kkk hated on us You don’t see that because we are just trying to live our life
Not fear if our children are going to make it home
Without being shot

Tased
Tear gassed
Dead
Or in a hospital
We just want to live
To breathe
To not worry for our loved ones To be free

How would you feel if there was a group of people bashing you?
How would you feel if you had to fear for your life every time you get pulled over?
How would you feel if your child had to fear for their life whenever they get pulled over? How would you feel if your child was trying to get into the house and a cop stopped him because he “looks suspicious”?
How would you feel being a person of color?
How would you feel if we did what they do to us to you?

Being colored is not bad
It’s not dangerous
Well it is in the usa
Because people are out here trying to kill us NOT COOL!!

Being colored is beautiful
It’s something people are proud of
We shouldn’t be scared of it
We should be able to live, love, and laugh But we can’t because others don’t want us to SAD

Holding a cell phone is a gun?
Holding a hair brush is a gun?
Following directions but also asking questions is resisting?
Pulling for an ID or license when you told them to is you thinking they’re reaching for a gun? Asking questions is resisting?
Chilling on their property and having a good time with family is…
What exactly?
I can’t sit on my porch with my family minding our business?
What was the reason for stopping them from doing that?

There are so many questions that needs to be answered So many things that could have been prevented
So many unknown reasons
So much more important thing in this world

But yet people hate a color instead WOW

You want to know things that are more important than hating a color I’ll name them

1. The economy!!!
People started this thing were fireworks is apart of the fourth of july It’s breaking down our ozone layer
What are people doing to help that?

2. COVID
Will the vaccine work?
How did it start really?
WHY ARE CLUBS OPENING BACK UP WHEN WE ARE STILL IN QUARANTINE?

3. Unemployment/ financial issues
Why can’t people work and help each other out?

  1. Health care/insurance
    Why is healthcare expensive?
  2. School system
    If you don’t want to be a teacher
    DON’T BE ONE
    That’s affecting the kids and how they learn and how they see school
  3. Student loan
    There should be no reason it should cost almost 1,000 dollars for a 150 page book!! There is no reason that a student should pay over 2,000 dollars for school!

These are only a few reasons
Why someone hating on a skin color shouldn’t matter
There are way more things that are important than hating on A COLOR!!

HATRED HAS CAUSE SO MANY DEATHS
SO MANY HEART ACHE
SO MUCH PAIN https://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifehack/7-steps-to-resolve-any-problem.html
