nonwhite class and caste divisions?

there's no real difference between us...


but yet, there's so many artificial boundaries, between us, that must be removed if we're serious about our collective survival.


you're buying a house, im renting, she lives at home, he's homeless... you're a supervisor, im entry level, she's looking for a job, he's panhandling... you're in graduate school, i'm at a four-year, she's at junior college, he stopped at high school... you're leasing your car, i'm financed, she bought hers with cash, he's on the bus... you're married, i'm in a committed relationship, she's taking a break, he's dating... you're an international traveler, i've been to a few states, she ain't left her city, he ain't left the block...


we have invested so much time in our differences almost like we're gonna be able to prove to white people that we all ain't the same... when our focus should be our commonality -- thats where we'll find the love.


why look down?
