Let’s talk about Racism.

Let’s talk about Racism. Let talk about its pain.

Let’s talk about Racism. How it hurts, ruins, and maims

Let’s talk about Racism. Let’s talk about tortured years.

Let’s talk about Racism. How it drains and about our tears

Let’s talk about Racism. Let’s talk about the fear.

Let’s talk about Racism. Sit up, listen, and hear.

Let’s talk about Racism. Let’s talk about the word.

Let’s talk about Racism. Let’s give everyone an opportunity to be

heard.

Don’t minimise my experience. Don’t minimise my pain.

You don’t know me. You have no right to blame.

No right to make accusa�ons.

No right to label my experience a race card.

Let’s talk about Racism.

Let’s not disregard.

Stop closing your mind to reality. Stop pretending there’s no racism

about
Stand up, support. Raise your voice and speak out.
