Chameleons are Very Bad - They Change Color

"There was a computer printed sign on the grimy wall at the Department of Labor. The sign said:

So-called White People

They are red when they are born,
They go yellow when they are sick,
They go brown in the sun,
They go blue in the cold,
They go gray when they die,
And they have the cheek to call US colored!!!"
