As I
As I am in the bathroom,
I can hear the swish-swash of the water
and the brush-brush of the toothbrush.
As I am in the train,
I can hear the woosss of the train and the boom-boom of the music,
along with french words that make up the lively train.
As I am in school,
I can hear the bang-bangs of the lockers, and the words of the students.
As I am going home,
I can hear the kaw-kaw or the seagulls, and the swish-swash of the ocean waves.

Black on Black Discrimination- Colorism & Ethnic Discrimination

Black on Black Discrimination is when an African-American make fun of each other because of many factors- skin tone, ethnicity and much more. This is very common among urban youth, when light and fair-skinned people constantly make fun of dark-skinned people, as if it is a crime to be dark-skinned. This is called colorism. Another way of black on black discrimination is when people of American descent make fun of people who are of African descent, when they are African themselves. This is a major problem in the African-American community because it brings the whole community's self-esteem down. It also seems as if the black race wants to become a White, Spanish, Asian, or Arab race when they are obviously not. The community should stop this community immediately if the black community wants to have pride and move up in life.
