Tolerance we preach it                                
Its a skill but we can’t teach it
A goal so far away that we can’t reach it
No matter what race we’re all the same
And if color matters to you its only you to blame
Apparently unity isn’t uniform
And just because we’re not all the identical doesn’t mean we’re not all beautiful
If you blame a whole race for one persons actions
Then you have the wrong reaction
We all have the right to be accepted
No one deserves to be rejected
Black, White, Yellow, Red They’re all just names
didn’t anyone tell you that racism isn’t a game
Making people feel so bad they want to kill themselves
You might think that they don’t care but inside their heads your words always dwell
Stereotypes surround us
and for some reason when you offend someone you’re astounded
just because someone is different doesn’t mean they’ll kill us
And it doesn’t mean you’re superior if you’re from the US
some people say that intolerance is morally required
        But the people who say that I don’t admire
