Black or white

Man or woman

Young or old

Rich or poor

One group is handed opportunities

The other works for them even as 

They are told they will never make it

One group has rights

The other has privileges

One group has forever dominated the

Institutions of this country

The other was cast into its shadows

One group will forever lead this country

Further away from the path of equality

At the expense of the other

These groups are the same

Yet different

Only separated by their skin color

And gender

And age

And status 

We cannot control these differences

But they control us
