Yet I suppose it\'s like any poems on here - we may pick and choose poems, and authors. But, as you say, 18 views, and only 7 commented, seems poor.

Only just read this and it\'s a big YES from me too.
I married my wife 66 years ago and I got abuse from other whites - thankfully only in the very early years and neither of us have witnessed it since - SO - All LIVES matter

Indeed the last part of our history we need to undo, black lives matter too. Even sad that we need to continue this tune but we can\'t stop adapting it until the next generation see the mistakes made!
Brilliantly done!

Such a fine write about this major problem in the USA, and in many other places in our world, those in power just do not seem to care about the injustice of discrimination.
Will that dream come true when all are equal? I cannot see it happening in my lifetime - or at all where the people in power only think of themselves.
Maybe it will one day - Oh look at that, there is a pig flying above me!!

There you go again, stating the bleedin obvious...as if i wasn\'t aware of all that!
Well maybe there will always be tensions between different races and maybe not. Just because one man tells you something it doesn\'t mean he is right. However... there is clearly a lot of room for improvement in USA\'s race relations and integration whether it be from the native americans, you mentioned, point of view or any of the other immigrant races including the immigrant white folk.
U.K. has it\'s racial tensions but we seem to be streets ahead of USA in the way they handle the public irrespective of race or creed.
Do you realise how patronising you are being when you write \"Thanks for caring\" Who the F..k do you think you are?

GOOD EVENING DA ~ BRIAN HERE ~ THANKS FOR Highlighting the Riots following the recent Murder in Minnesota of Afro-American GEORGE FLOYD by a Police Officer. The first line in the Song says it all ~
People movin* out - People movin* in
Why ? Because of the colour of their skin
Run - Run - Run - but you just cant hide !
There are 13 million Afro-Americans in the USA - most of them like Michelle O*Bama - descendents of Slaves. The song highlights the problem. Because they were imported from Africa to work as Slaves in the Plantations they are the wrong colour for the lattitude and so *They can*t Hide*. Despite the optimism in MLKs *I Have a Dream Speech* Native-Americans will always be judged by *The colour of their Skin*. In 2003 my Folks took me to New Orleans & Memphis & Nashille for my 20th Birthday and we had a Lecture at the MLK Memorial Centre given by an Afro-American who had been in Jail with MLK. After the Lecture a Man asked *Are the Troubles over ?* The Lecturer replied *While theres one White Man & one Black Man left in the USA - The Struggle will never be over !* So theres your answer - and it is more so true when the USA has a President with Friends in the KKK. Trump was only castigating the Rioters for Destroying Property & Looting rather than those who has mudered Floyd and sparked the Riots. It is so so sad - Minnisota is a nice State to visit. Thanks for caring !
Peace & Joy & Love

Well said indeed D.A. - hoping this write gets through to whomever it is addressed to - and any nation that makes distinctions needs this excellent appeal read over and over again.
