Modern Racism is Thoughtless Escapism

 Why do you keep up with this racial estrangement  
When different skin color's as natural as the glacial arrangements?    
    
Why can't you learn to accept    
The diversity    
I'm in disbelief at these concepts    
That you blurt at me    
I guess it's just too much to confess    
That you hurt those in need    
   
You brush it off like you've done nothing wrong    
Accuse us of racism for acknowledging your flaws    
Accuse of of fascism for admonishing your thoughts  
You ignore their claims that they're just following the law    
When you toss them on the ground and give a fist to the jaw    
   
Innocent or not, they're all guilty in your eyes    
So proud of this great country that was built on helpless cries    
Of the oppressed    
Taken from their homes, given no rest    
The more I think about it, the more I get depressed    
Because I know it still goes on, it's just disguised with more finesse
