I should be sorry for being white.
but I don't look down upon others,
still I should feel bad.
for what happened in the past
somehow, I am responsible

they put me down
telling me I can't understand
all lives matter. 
but only if you are part of a minority.

I should be sorry for being white.
I should apologize for the things I never did,
things I never said and never thought. 

because just the fact that I was born with a different skin color makes me unsympathetic and evil. 

the fact that I am white means I am stupid,
means I am responsible,
automatically places me in the wrong. 
I am constantly reminded of my inability to empathize. 

all because I am white.
who are the real racists here?
