Stop The Hate

Please Stop the Hate!

Why do people hate other people that are different than they are? I have asked myself that question a thousand times and cannot come up with an answer. There are hate groups all over the United States and the world. People hate other people solely because they are of a different religion or race than they are. That is absolutely ridiculous. How can you hate someone if you don't even know them, and they never did anything bad to you. I have seen a lot of hate sites on the web and they are totally disgusting!! They bash people just because they are different. I never saw so much venom in people before. If they have that much hatred inside of them, they must also hate themselves. To me there is ONE race.....THE HUMAN RACE. Hatred is taught, it is not something you are born with. Just like you have to be taught how to read and write, you have to be taught to hate. The racists of our world teach their children to hate. Instead of expending so much energy on teaching them hate, why not teach them love. It is so much easier to love a person than it is to hate them, and so much more enjoyable too. We have to learn to respect everyone for who they are and for what they believe in. Just because you do not believe in something, does not make it wrong. Come on people, Live and Let Live! Please do not teach your children to hate!

The Beautiful Color of Love

by Arnold (Sparky) Watts

What color is God?
Asked the child with the skin so fair.
Is he white like me?
Does he have light hair?

Is God dark like me?
Asked the child with the skin of golden hue.
Has he hair that's dark and curly?
Are his eyes black or blue?

I think God is red like me,
The Indian boy is heard to say.
He wears a crown of feathers.
And turns the night to day.

Each one of us knows that God is there.
In all the colors above.
But be sure of this, the one color he is,
Is the beautiful color of love.

So when your soul goes to heaven,
When your life comes to its end,
He will be waiting, and his hand to you
Will he extend.

There will be no colors in Heaven,
Everyone will be the same.
You will only be judged by your earthly deeds,
Not your color or your name.

So when your time comes,
And you see God in his Heaven above,
Then you will see the only color that counts,
The beautiful color of love.

Color Blind

by Michael W. Smith

There's not a world of difference
Out in the world tonight
Between this world of people
Red, Yellow, Black, and White
But instead of riding a rainbow of love
We are still fighting with prejudice gloves
Of anger
With something to claim
But nothing to gain so.

Why can't we be color blind
You know we should
Be living together
And we'd find a reason and rhyme
I know we would
'Cause we could see better
If we could be color blind.

Somebody's just assuming
He's up to nothing good
'Cause he's not like the others
There goes the neighborhood
What kind of world are we living in
When we judge a man
By the tone of his skin
It's crazy
'Cause he has a heart
Like you have a heart and . . .

Why can't we be color blind
You know we should
Be living together
And we'd find a reason and rhyme
I know we would
'Cause we could see better
If we could be color blind

It'd be so fine
To be color blind
To open our eyes
And see color blind

I know this world would be a better place
The only race would be the human race
All of those barriers would be erased
Why can't we be color blind?

Why can't we be color blind
You know we should
Be living together
And we'd find a reason and rhyme
I know we would
'Cause we could see better
If we could be color blind.
