A Racist's Confession
Racism
A word that in many ways
Controls our views of the world
Limiting the prosperity we crave
And the equality we need
I am a Racist
Not because I have hate in my heart
I’d rather fill that void with love
And occasional indifference
But because I listen
To the stereotypes
To the slurs
To the hate
I listen intently
I don’t believe but I listen
And I do nothing to stop it
Which begs the question
Who’s more guilty anyway
The racist pig who pulls the trigger
Or the shrugging nobody who goes
on with his day?
