why does racism still exist?
why do people hate because of skin color?
why are people so determined to make sure world peace does not happen?
i am a black woman. i am 26 years old and consider myself a law abiding citizen. ive never been to jail and have only received three tickets in entire life. but to some people i am a threat. it saddens me that some white people see me and think that i am nothing more than a charity case. maybe its because im told that i do not look my age and have two small children. but there should be no reason why i still do not feel completely comfortable in an establishment when i am the only person of color there. the look on people's faces is like, "wow what are they doing here" or "uh oh here comes trouble".
to be honest ive never understood racism. how can you hate on me because i am black. like i had a choice. if i was its a conversation that i can not remember.but i love being black. i love the way my skin feels. i love the way my skin ages. i love the fact that i am different but the same. i put pants on one leg at a time. when my stomach is empty it makes noises until i place something in it. when i am cold, i shiver. but sometimes i dont think that white people get cold because some of them will wear shorts and flip flops all year round. but the main point im trying to make is that for the most part blacks and whites are the same. but we cant seem to get over the skin color.
i have to be honest and admit that i become friends with white people very carefully. and i know that it aint right but you can never tell who is a racist. i think some racist people do not realize that they are racist. they just believe the lies they've been believing and choose not to question their logic.
this medicine must be kicking in because i am not able to keep my eyes open...but this is not finished..believe that. until then...peace
