I am not black
I mean that’s what the world calls me, but it’s not me I didn’t come out of my mother’s womb saying hey everybody. I’m black No, I was taught to be black
And you were taught to call me that
Along with whatever you call yourself is just a label See? From birth the world, Force feeds us these labels And eventually we all swallow them
We digest and accept the labels
Never ever doubting them
But there’s one problem
Labels are not you and labels are not me
Labels are just labels
But who we truly are is not skin deep?
See when I drive my car. No one would ever confuse the car for me Well when I drive my body, why did you confuse me for my body?
It’s my Body. Get it? Not me
Let me break it down.
So your bodies are just cars that we operate and drive around.
The dealership we call society, decided to label mine the Black Edition yours the Irish or white edition and with no money down, zero Percent APR and no test drive.
We were forced to own these cars for the rest of our lives.
Forgive me, but I fail to see the logic or pride, in defining myself or judging another by the cars we drive.
Because who we truly are, is found inside.
Listen I’m not here to tell you, how science has concluded that genetically we’re all mixed.
In racing the human species doesn’t exist or how every historian knows that race was invented in the 15th century to divide people from each other and it has worked perfectly. no!!!
I’m not here to lecture.
I just want to ask one question
Who would you be if the world never gave you a label?
Never gave you a box to check
Would you be white, Black, Mexican, Asian, Native American, Middle Eastern, Indian, no.
We would be one.
We will be together.
No longer living in the error of calling human beings black people or white people.
These labels that will forever blind us from seeing a person for who they are.
But instead seeing them through the judgmental prejudicial, artificial filters of who we think they are.
And when you let an artificial label to find yourself.
Then my friend you have chosen smallness over greatness and minimized yourself.
Confined and divided yourself from others.
And it is an undeniable fact that where there is division, there will be conflict and conflict starts Wars.
Therefore every war has started over labels.
It’s always us versus them.
So the answer to war the racism and sexism and every other ism is so simple that every politician has missed it.
It’s the labels.
We must rip them off.
Isn’t it funny how no baby is born racist?
Yet every baby cries when they hear the cries of another.
No matter the gender.
Culture or color, Proving that deep down we were meant to connect and care for each other.
That is our mission.
And that is not my opinion that is the truth in the world that has sold us fiction.
Please listen.
Labels only distort our vision which is why half of those watching this will dismiss it or feel resistance and conflicted with.
Just remember.
So did the caterpillar?
Before it broke through its shell and became the magnificent butterfly.
Well these labels are our shells, and we must do the same thing.
So we can finally spread our wings human beings
We’re not meant to be slapped with labels like groceries in supermarkets.
DNA cannot be regulated by the FDA.
We were meant to be free and only until we remove them all and stop living and thinking so small Will we be free?
To see ourselves and each other for who we truly are
