Colors of diversity flowing one into another
An ornament of beautification on the neck of the sky
Showing incomparable beauty to men on the earth
You have to be a hater not to love the rainbow.
As it is in the sky so it is in the earth
Beauty and color plastered on men by the Maker
Yellow, red, black, brown, white and more He made
Rivers of colors flowing in harmony and peace.
Ghouls, demons emissaries of hatred then came
Divide them by their colors their mandate
Pigmentation now wears the garment of discrimination
Paradise lost, hell is embraced.
Now we hate those we have not known
Struggling to love those who do not look like us
Beautiful colors, now robes of racial condemnation
Black or white the blood is the same in the veins.
I have seen black vagabonds
I have known white fools
The problem is not caused by the color on their skin
The devil is in the madness of men’s hearts.
Black, white, red or yellow
Your tears will always run down your cheeks
The devil is not in the color of the skin
It’s in pride and prejudice.
We all breath the same air
Sorrow and joy we all jointly experience
At death all colors rot
One doesn’t stink better than the other.
Cast out the devil of hateful pigmentation
An undesirable guest sharing Greek gifts
We are stronger together this I know
Let’s make the whole earth great again.
SELAH.

This is common, generic and part of our daily lives. It will not disappear, we just have to be ourselves and develop a coping mechanism.

I know you are speaking from experiences gathered from your local and international exposure. Coping mechanism is also part of what we must apply. Great comment Pst Mode.

1Tim 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
Where there is love, there is no discrimination
