TITC - APPEARS TO BE BLACK AND WHITE

Fort Worth, TX

I took this more literally....what would appear to be a white woman and a black man in this shot to a lot of people but to me there is no pure black or white people....I see that we all have brown tones to our skin, whether light or dark or in different tones such as yellow or red. So, with that said, doesn't matter what appears black and white on the surface, it is not that simple, we all have the same desires and wants and needs. We all are the same in God's eyes so what appears to be black or white or yellow or red or brown, don't judge by the color of the skin but look inside to the heart of the individual. That is where it counts...nothing is really black or white....there's always a little grey in between.

You are so right... almost Black and White, but not quite.
From the minute components of the atom, to the suns, planets, and moons of the galaxies; there is no pure black or pure white unless we make it so in our own minds.
