Analysis of Colorblind



Is it wrong to accuse someone of stupidity
If they are unaware of it’s existence in the first place ?
People have to know things in order to have an opinion
It’s kind of like prejudice
People aren’t aware that it exists until their taught
You don’t know to hate another person or race
Based on their color or culture
It’s just not our nature
But we do everything to keep ourselves separated
We accuse each other of hate, deceit, and violence
We protect ourselves with guns and fear
We are cautious and leery of each other
Never turning a blind eye off one another
We are taught very early in life to hate
Whether by accident or on purpose
We still teach it
We are given toy guns to play with when were young
So that when were older
We can graduate to the real thing
We are a species of the highest form
Yet we are the most extinct
We spend more time feeding and killing
Than we do saving and educating
We are
In desperate need of help
