Discrimination (A Poem)

It's not getting any better these days.

@zebra2222 I totally agree with you. Just have to keep on keeping on.

@zebra2222 I felt it was a few years back. But I've changed my tune.

Too many states are trying to pass discriminating legislation under the banner of religious freedom. I am oppose to this.

It is. It's more complicated than many think. As @sallypup said, there are so many ways to discriminate. Being a victim is certainly no fun.

@TheHorse For example, my husband is blind. He got a master's degree so that he could get a job that most sighted folks get when they have a bachelor's degree. He started applying for jobs. Was refused. He asked why?? Answer: you have to have a driver's license to be a social worker. He went to the governor and by coincidence, was called not long after for a position. Again discrimination: he ended up getting a job across the state. Just about zero choice of where he could work. Just be grateful that you got a job? Is that what folks of color were told in the 40s?

I have written a few poems. There has not been any negative feedback.
