All the more reason for us to *pull ourselves together* and fight for all of us, not just be pushed against each other!

(17,202 posts)When I was born I was black
When I was sad I was black
When I was hot I was black
When I was sick I was black
When I was scared I was black
When you was born you was pink
When you was sad you was blue
When you was hot you was red
When you was sick you was green
When you was scared you was yellow
And you call me colored.
