I'm a white girl from the south
But do i believe in southern views?
Just as much as i believe
That others can control me
I am my own person
And this is what i am doing
I've got a darkside to me
That doesn't make me a freak
I'm a caring, pretty little thing
Start in on racial conflict
I'll state my views and then leave
I won't sit around while others bash at me
I date a mixed guy, and i love him dearly
So he's a little black and a little white
He does me just fine, and who cares if others don't like it?
My parents think i'm a traitor to my race
But at least they'll tell me to my face
And i take no heed
White supremecy, please
We are no better than the rest
Whatever you believe
They are just as great as me
And because they are no different
I can say this in peace
No one holds out over me nor me over them
All races are the same
Minus the different beliefs and color of their skin
Society can keep their nasty comments to themselves
What i do is nothing to them, doesn't affect them
So leave alone natures children
This generation will change the way people think
We will step out of racist beliefs
And prove to the world we can live in peace
All together and happy, the way God meant for it to be
No more killing and caging of the mind, that sort of thing will be dead
We'll forget all about it and move ahead
So I'm white
This is still what i am doing
And not one person can tell me it's wrong
Because this is what i believe
That we are all part of a bigger thing, it's not about one race
We were meant for unity
I'm a white girl and this is what i'm doing

I would like to translate this poem
I like this, it reads like a snub. What has the pigment of one's skin got to do with it? The third stanza is a real gem: hard-hitting and funny at the same time.I really like this poem GH. It has spunk, in gallons.
