Hate
I disapproved of you before I even knew you. 2. Is it my skin color or my imperfections and sin? 3. The more you ignore me, like the pouring rain. 4. It's so peaceful when you let things go, not engaging in arguments or feeding our egos. 5. The psychological chains of slavery are passed down through generations; a black Christian facing trials and tribulations. 6. The more I try, the more I attempt not to despise people; deception runs rampant like snakes and flies. 7. Hate speech and crimes, ethnic violence occurring frequently. 8. Should we return to Africa, the motherland? I don't know. 9. There is no place on earth that is truly at peace; we are temporary residents with a lease on life. 10. Despite facing enemies, we still choose to love them, despite Christianity's portrayal of Jesus without concrete evidence. 11. Does color really matter? Some are denied certain jobs due to their weight. 12. Hatred is a defining feature of our era. 13. We are born guilty, breaking laws daily and committing sins constantly. 14. Promises of forty acres and a mule by political figures to own land have yet to materialize, highlighting failures. 15. Equality is on the horizon, God's kingdom is near. 16. Keep up the non-support, as I focus on finding goodness and enjoying blessed mornings with coffee in my cup
