To All The Racial Profilers

Do you call yourself Nazi's? Because this is surely a Holocaust of Arabs. The terrorists came and hate filled our country (not that hate wasn't already there!) Islam is bad! you cried Kill the Arabs! you thought why? Because of extremists you would hurt innocent people? Rip them off of airplanes and buses... Because they have olive skin, dark hair and eyes, and maybe an accent? Drive by gas stations and grocery stores shoot them with sawed-off shotguns until their blood spilled to the ground Harass us in school, where everyone is supossed to feel protected, because we have a funny name? (Abdullah, Ahmed) Stand up in class and express your opinion that "ALL ARABS SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE THEY CAN'T BE TRUSTED!" Do you call yourselves ignorant mother-fuckers? (it's what you are) But it's ok to profile us isn't it all you black people? [or should i say African American] in a recent survey over half of you think it's ok to profile Arabs... hey, as long as it's not you... and to the rich white lady who's article was in Newsweek, who said "i don't regret reporting him"; kicking an innocent man off the plane b/c he had olive skin...i hope you feel good about ruining someone's day. And to all the Arab kids my people, my culture who have had stones thrown at them in school, in the streets I feel for you I cry for you And to all the rednecks Before you venture out with guns blazing I ask of you one thing. Take off your blinders And see through someone else's eyes To all the racial profilers out there Please remember that sometimes, words hurt just as bad as stones.
