Race is a Social Construct-LSM

Take my 747
and crash it into the towers of racism.
Having you xenophobes jumping out of windows because of the cataclysm.
I'm not talking about white people,
because I believe that we are 1 people.
I thought we lived in a period of enlightenment.
This is an age where we need clarification,
we still argue about the intelligence of the European and Zulu nation.

They say it's not a black and white thing,
there are other races to consider.
I say there are none,
because we are an amalgamation.
Is Jesus white or black?
Let me ask you this question,
if he was either,
would we accept him,
or predictably turn our back?

So maybe I should elucidate this confusion.
Meaning I should illuminate
like a sun through dark clouds that we are a fusion.
We live in a pigeonhole,
feeding on ignorance like pigeons do.

We need to open the doors of bigotry,
yet it is locked,
so let me give you a screw,
so you can dislodge the handle
and take a peek through.
What you will see will release you from fears, making you wise beyond your years,
opening up your social sphere,
when I open the prison cell
and whisper freedom-of-self into your ears.

Why do we conform ourselves to categories?
Look to God,
not society, for self-acclamatory.
Let's stop stabbing ourselves with the knife of predisposition
and ask ourselves what is God's position?

We should make a council,
have a meeting with our savior,
because he is our counselor,
and the chancellor of our universe,
so the question is,
does he see color?

No,
because he mixed us up like pancake batter,
so we need to stop the chit chatter,
because it's causing a clatter that makes us scatter,
so we need to shatter the glass of ignorance, because ignorace is bliss
and it's making us fatter.
We need to come to the conclusion that the heart of the man is all that matters.
One love....
