Choose your friends and mates, not by the money in their bank account, creed, ethnicity, or color; instead, choose character, actions, heart, and soul. When we bleed, we bleed the same color.

The quotation argues for judging people by moral substance rather than social markers. By listing wealth, creed, ethnicity, and color, it targets common bases for prejudice and status-seeking, then replaces them with inward qualities—character, actions, heart, and soul—suggesting that ethical behavior and empathy are the proper criteria for intimacy and trust. The closing line, “When we bleed, we bleed the same color,” is a universalizing reminder of shared human vulnerability: beneath cultural and economic differences, bodies—and therefore basic dignity—are alike. The overall effect is a concise anti-discrimination ethic framed as practical guidance for choosing companions and partners.
