Open Mic: Is There Hope?

Does true educated mean we'll never be a racist
Never see the problems that we all are faced with
Never see a man and recognise it's a different skin
There maybe a problem in the world but that isn't him
You maybe able to list where the difference is
But on a biological level there's no differences
The racists in the media are always the working classes
But is it not them that are working past this
It is not them that demonise a man of a different colour
Is it not them that are working with a man of different colour
Is it not them that go to the pub with a man of a different colour
Is it not them that see him not the man of a different colour
Medieval Islam was the centre of mathematics
But we'd rather highlight a few fanatical extremist antics

I'll start by typing in this segment your tempo was nice,I liked the
pace and ease this piece can be read at,I was feeling the contents
here,how through media and word of mouth that has been handed down,
can make men see another's colour before the man shocking really,this
is an interesting subject here you chose to use..

We'd not celebrate Islam and what it gave to us
But vilify it for the few and what they take from us
If a man of colour crashes a plane it's his race or religion
If a white man does its because he's in a deep depression
There are lessons we should be learning from our history
Why we have the urge to kill each other is the real mystery
Why can't we find some common ground
Before we kill everyone and humanity bottoms out
It's a problem now that we might be past the point of talking it out
We need to ignore the differences instead of pointing them out

Nicely put,so many questions with easy logical answers,but we have
been taught to hate,or to take pride in a country's past glory,sad
ain't it,how petty/blind/small/arrogant we are,to let another man
have power over another,this is a thought provoking verse,which I
believe you tackled well,you have been on point thought really,1
persons perception should not be for someone else,as we are all
individuals,but the elite want a hive mentality,and at this point
in time,that's what they have,I also like the simplicity in which
you displayed your vocab,as I feel if you went down the long word/
technical route,it would of marred this drop..well done I enjoyed
the read...Ripe verse...peace.

Can't go as much in-depth as I'd like to right now, but I thought this was a very nice read. I thoroughly enjoyed your concept here, as you raised some quite interesting points of a "current" issue. Your opening segment was one of the highlights of this verse. Unfortunately, I wasn't overly fond of the "is it not them" couplet scheme-wise, as it felt rather "unnatural" in a sense, imo, but I guess it did its purpose of emphasising the "other" perspective quite well. You had a lot of very interesting lines, especially towards the middle- and ending segment and I thought that your last bar was also great in terms of a "closure".

That's exactly what the world judges.
Great piece man, there's always hope though it takes time for people to change. Islam is a religion, Arab is a race, terrorist a group of evil people but most Arabs. We can't blame a race like u mentioned or blame a religion(Islam) for a every terrorist attack.
The issue is most terrorist attacks are done by Arabs so people always catch fear whenever they meet one of them. It's just a big and complex issue man but it's best we hang on to hope and perhaps a solution will come to pass in the process.
