It has truly been forever since the last time I have gotten on here and blogged. Well, hello readers! Since my last post, I have finished up with my Associate's degree, and I finished up with straight A's (I graduated with Summa Cum Laude, look that up). Other than that, nothing too major going on. In other news, though, I felt like this was my only place for safe refuge to kind of "think and 'say' things out loud." I am tired of feeling like an outcast in the world. I don't mean me personally, but I mean as a black woman. I feel so depressed when I look towards the future because I am scared that racism will not get any better and potentially die out. In a perfect world, everyone would love everyone, because that's how it should be, but I don't know. I want to enjoy being black without having to feel persecuted for it. I love who I am but in AmeriKKKa, it is just so hard to be someone who is other than Caucasian and get by. All I'm saying is that it would be nice for someone to compliment someone and not throw in the "Oh, for a black girl/boy" comment or "You act so white." Like, what the fuck does that even mean? How can we act as a color, oh wait, they are stereotyping us and thinking we don't know how to act civilized in the world. By they, I mean white people. I don't mean to offend anyone out there, who may be white and reads my blogs, but I'm saying you guys just don't get it. You will never know how it feels to be black and to walk around knowing that at any given moment, you could be profiled as dangerous and one police brutality statistic away from death. That is a little extreme, I know, but have you seen the news lately? There has been at least 5 black people arrested and detained on bogus charges, only to end up dead while in police custody. Oh, and most of the deaths ruled as "suicide." Like, come on, who the fuck is falling for this??? Wake the fuck up, people. We are just here for white people's entertainment until they find a way to set us back in the dark ages. I won't give up on my people, though, we will persevere as always and find another way to come out on top. Stay black and keep hope alive. I love you guys and if for some reason, I am pulled over and arrested, and detained, and I end up "dead" in custody, it wasn't suicide and I want the world to know it was the crooked cops' fault.

It will never change who wants a perfect world when we can live in chaos

About the AuthorI got the idea to create a blog in December 2014 on a random type of day.Writing has always been therapeutic; the only way I could communicate clearly, in actual words instead of struggling to unscramble the swirl of images, metaphors & analogies that is my thought process.
