[hometext] => There is a destinct possibility this will offend some of you, but I also strongly believe that this subject lends itself to being offensive, so all the more is the pity.
[bodytext] => If you want to be the same as me Don't demand a velvet glove. I don't expect it for myself, Not even from those I love. If you choose to call me "white" Then I may call you "black" Any favor you pay to me Is only fair to be paid back. Respect is not to be given Because of the color of your skin Nor due to the shape of your torso The determinant lies within. To be fair, you've been oppressed, But for that, I bear no blame, To hold a grudge against me Is yet the greater shame. To be truly politically correct, the adjectives used to qualify different people should not be so used. We're all people, no matter of gender, race, creed, nationality, or any other category into which we choose to put each other.
