If practically every person buys a black phone or car in lieu of aesthetic appeal, then why is there a “NO” for different skin colours?
Were you given a chance to photoshop yourself before you were born? My guess would be negative. Why can’t we be happy knowing that we were born for something and have a chance to simply be ourselves. Did you get a chance to choose whether you would be a boy or a girl? No. Why can’t we be happy with how we were born and thank our parents for our mere existence?
“Hey! you’re Black, Chinki, Chashmis, etc.” did you get a Respect+ option in your life just like in your games? A white guy who has killed around 9 people with absolute obviousness was dealt with too calmly, but a black man who was charged with counterfeiting a bill of 20 dollars, was made to cry and plead while someone choked his life out of him. On the other hand, the white man is still alive, waiting for his remaining years of imprisonment to get over.
USA It all started with us, now it’s ending with only me. It’s not the only case with them—but here too— not only here it’s everywhere! What will change if you are black or white or brown, whether you are fat or thin or tall or short, at the end we know that we are humans.
I hate mirrors, not because they’re fragile, but because they only exhibit outer beauty and not that which matters. Hey, you just need to smile, you need not worry about the past but endeavour to live in the present and trust me, your future will be amazing, if only you don’t carry any worries. Don’t worry about your past, don’t ruin your present and attack your future. Just smile, and notice the improvement in minutes; not just within your own self, see it all around you, in people and places. Be positive, just not in your COVID test.
Realise the fact that you human too and you need to smile because you deserve it. Treat everything as you would treat yourself. Peace!
Black is just a colour. Let’s enjoy its beauty, together.
