Racism's Still Here?

Synopsis: It's crazy to think we live in a world where racism still exists. We must keep addressing it.
Watching the news got me filled with disgust
People in the country are tired of living on the cusp
Karens galore is just too much to ignore
Racism's got people nervous of what the future has in store
Of all our advancements, some are still worried over color
Question...Is that what you learned from your mother?
It's not just black and white going against one another
There's even Spanish people being racists toward each other
The Chinese in the states felt it because of superbug Trump
This got me wishing we can multiply people like Ben Crump
It's too much toxicity; the only race I see is human
Why with all the planet's problems, you're looking at a hue, man?
Racism and it's supporters are the pinnacle of ignorance
Because in the color of the blood, there exists no difference
If you were programmed to this sickness, then maybe consider this
How much further can you go, shall you rid yourself this hindrance?
