Racism

You are not the cause

Of a world of hate

You are not the sole target

Of a world of hate

Stop putting your race

Or your sex

Or your sexuality

Or your religion

As tags on your face

You do not get to represent

An entire group of people

Do not apologize

Or explain

Or get angry

On their behalf

Please try to refrain

Your race is part of your identity

But a race is not just you

And maybe say your name

Before you say your race
