hi I just wanted to say that loved your poem.

You mentioned publishing, now I can't say that it was easy or not but my dad got published through publish America you should look them up and try through them.

I like this a lot...you friend probably does, too! Keep doing what you're doing.

bravo! bravo! beautifully written!

This is a very interesting poem - especially the analogy made between a person's skin and a TV/ computer. However, other races are put too generally while African-Americans are more thought of.

Other than that, I believe that this is very well thought out and it expresses a strong emotion that the writer felt.

This reminds me of someone I knew last year who was african american and really good at track. She was a really shy girl, but incredibly sweet...everyone loved her. Too bad she is switching schools this summer, we'll all miss her. I can tell racial discrimination is a topic you are moved by, compelled to to change. Keep writing about it...it will make a difference by spreading the message around through the voice of poetry.

nicely done, that had a lot of good points. I liked the poem. To bad people are totally lame and are racial (i think i spelt that wrong, lol)it shouldn't matter what color a person skin is, its who they are that should matter.

That's horribly sad and tragic that a beautiful person is being treated that way just because of her skin. Colour. When I found I was part East-Indian, people on my mother's side said alot of bad things about me. I don't have dark skin, but me being Indian is enough. Your friend dosen't deserve this kind of terrible treatmeant. No one dose!
