Superior? Infereor?
What are these words I hear?
You assign them to races,
To put them in their places

But what if their place is right above you?
Do you have to tear them down, make yourself higher too?
If my skin were dark, would I be changed in any way?
Do you consider the impact of these racist things you say?

“Back of the bus”, “in the welfare line”
These bigoted comments send society back in time
Inspiring heroes of every color, every day
How would you feel if someone took YOUR rights away?
