Sometimes home is a place you need to go back to to remind yourself of why you left in the first place.
This little ditty came out in response to a dinner-table incident.
"...but then it hit me square across the face....out of the mouth of one of the older male relatives came something that made my jaw hit the floor and my brain sieze up. I was literally floored. I had thought that racist derogatory terms for someone whose skin happens to have a different hue were a thing of the past (or of isolated pockets of KKK-ville) But no...apparently people still use language like that to describe (his words) "those people"
Well let me tell you something Uncle-Racist. I won't have *MY* children around THOSE People...and by that I mean YOU. I will not condone such appalling bigotry by remaining in the same house or allowing my children to do so.

PEOPLE are PEOPLE regardless of hue
But I won't have my children round people like YOU
People who judge by the color of skin
are not people whose company I choose to be in
