An invented term
An incredible lie.
What a crime it is to invent a term
Just for the purpose of pure segregation.
What a crime it is to fabricate the ideology that the difference between the
pigment of our skin
Makes a difference.
We share more similarities in our DNA,
Ninety nine point nine scientists say.
The only race is the human race.
