7.18.16 The world does not favor all children


The world loves only some of our children.
The world doesn't love them for who they are.
We discovered early on exactly why the world loves some , but not all , children. 
It favors some for it's own impenetrable bias.
The world gives preference to  some children for their dominant class and racial appearance, as if it was an accomplishment.
It protects and benefits some more than others  because they have light skin, or white skin. It loves prefers some children because they have tiny noses.
The world favors some children because they are tall, slender.
Some of us are born white, born into a world which will revere us simply for that one reason, long before we have a venerable thought, action, or deed.
The ways of the world loving some children better than others, does not help them .
And harms everyone else..
