Racial equality - You're doing it wrong

You can't simmer the Zimmer.

You can't corner the Dorner.

Get your head out of your ass and become color blind.

The more you think with race and not with love,

the worse you create the future.

White, black, hispanic, jewish.

half white, half-asian, half American

They're all labels, they're all labels.

Why label your fellow man?

Can't you see that the more we talk about race, the more we tear open the divide?

Can't you see that the more we keep dealing with people in terms of race, the more racist everyone becomes?

Forget about race. It's just a construct. It's a label.

Trayvon, Zimmerman - they're people.

To create a better future, look beyond the race.

Don't explode, don't destroy. Look beyond the race. Look at people. Look at humans together.

Become the humans together.
