Kindred,
Take it up with the Lord.
Your so-called friend does not like the color of my skin?
Well, tell him to take it up with the Lord.
The Lord created us you know.
Do not like my race?
Take it up with the Lord.
The Lord created all the races.
Do not like my gender*?
Well, take it up with the Lord.
Again, the Lord created us you know.
*Never worry too much about the body as it is temporal. "Either way it's O.K, you wake up with yourself" (from the song, My Life, by Billy Joel). Hey, it's your life. Besides, it is the heart and soul of a person which matters most.
