Black And White Are Not Colours

White grapes and red grapes
Black stones and white pearls
Brown carpets and white ceilings
Dark souls and white fossils,
It's all the same
Because racism does not exist

Two men of the same qualifications
Seeking for the same job
The only difference is the racial application
To Malcolm there is no vacancy,
But Matthew is going for an interview next week
Malcolm understands
Because racism does not exist

Soil-toned skins are considered as problem makers
Cameras zooming their heads once their black feet step
in stores
Because its being said that light is righteousness and
darkness is sin
But dark skins understand
Because racism does not exist

Crime is created by those who suffer
And those who suffer are usually called brother
And whatever the crime is,
The finger points their nose,
They being suspected because in the dark,
Their skins dont show,
But they understand
Because racism does not exist

The whiter the milk, the richer it is,
And one dip of oreo biscuit ruins the whole glass,
Presidents are situated in White Houses,
Bad creditors are black-listed,
A dove of peace has white feathers,
And a bad friend blackmails
But it's all understandable
Because racism does not exist

The lighter the paint the cheaper the car
But the darker the driver the lower the class
He's rich? It's expected
You're rich? It's a miracle
But you understand
Because racism does not exist.

Multi-racial schools, English and Afrikaans,
African schools in locations are known as public,
And English schools located in town are rated as
private,
Africans run to private because its being said thats
where quality is,
But the quality they recieve is tilted to the brighter hand
But they understand because
"Racism does not exist" said the racist
