Stereotypical Mayhem

We have to fight
the stereotypes
that try to hold us down.

We should not,
nor should we ever have been
classified
before we begin.

Placed in a box
based upon race,
based upon gender,
based upon face.

Go get a frappuccino, white girl.
Purchase it with privilege.
Take another selfie, girl.
Put a filter on that image.

It doesn't matter who you are,
putting classifications on others is going too far.
You can't judge a persons heart by the color of their skin.
The color of skin is no indication of sin.

The only way to know is to look at their actions,
pay attention closely
before you cause any traction.

Just because I'm white,
doesn't mean I'm basic.
We look the same underneath,
it'd be easier if you'd just face it.
