The skin has been on my mind today. I've been reading dense literature on the subject of skin and color.
Racism in society, this virus that became ubiquitous inside those human beings
complexities and idiocies and no nothings. Skin that peals back bones and blood all alike but somehow
this system pretends we all have different colored blood. We are different species? All human but still unequal?
Why? I don't qualify for too many privileges under the law,
I'm still good for nothing, was once "white" in this country when the white stole the land I could cross in
Mexicans were "white" in 1848 because only 3 categories of race existed. Only 3 categories of race existed in 1848. That was how many years ago? And how far have we come? Our intelligence is limited and still we have the internet. Neverending supply of instant gratification, self-hating, self-numbing advertisement all across your skin. Your skin. your skiiiiiiiiiiin.
The end.
