No... I aint talking about that...
I AM NOT WHITE.
So the minority thing that Occhi said really struck a nerve with me. He put in to words what I have been feeling for all these years.
I am talking about actual life as it effects me being a minority. Like... Walking in to a place to get something to eat and being refused service. Or having to ride on the back of the bus when I was a kid. Having to use a different toilet or a water fountian. Or go in to a place using a different door. All because of majority rule being a kind of tyranny. For a long time I hated the idea of democracy because I thought it was another word for Whites Ony.
I have since changed my views.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
