White or black, we were all taught.

When you were in your mother's womb, did you know how you were going to look like? Did you know the resultant of your skin's colour? Obviously, your response will be, "no."

You were brought forth into this world with the right skin tone in relation to the atmospheric condition of your environment. No one chooses; you are given, and whether you detest it or not, it is yours till you die.

Every single day, a child is born into this world; the location, the culture, the way of life, and norms are what defines and triggers the style or behavioral patterns of the child. What you teach, tell, or display to the child leaves a mental stigma. It goes a long way to affect them when they grow, and when they try to refrain from such a thought transferred to them since childhood, they find it tedious or are confused about why they should desist from such an act.

There should be a bond between whites and blacks. I wonder why they even gave that name to us."I am not black; you are not white. I mean that's what the world calls you, but it's not you. You didn't come from your mother's womb and say to everybody, "Hey everybody, I'M BLACK OR I'M WHITE", no, you were taught to be black or white."


Peace! Special thanks to #PrinceEa.

Author's Note
This is less of a poem; it is sought of an eye-opener. You can take pride at who you are and where you were brought forth, but, don't take pride in abusing that pride.
Please no arguments or controversial statements, just let me hear your views.
Thanking youuu :D:)
