Don’t wash anything, with color, with darkness nor with white light. All human beings have a right to express and interpret and grow within themselves ideas; ideas of love, of what we fear, what makes us think “isn’t that strange?” Freedom and equity should belong to each human. We should love unconditionally. There’s only one problem, we just don’t. Somewhere along the lines we learned another way, we learned of hatred and of inequalities and have done things that no amount of time nor reparations a can ever erase. Perhaps it’s best not to erase, seeing as though that which is not recorded and passed down cannot be learned from. There’s too much to lose from erasing racism and the unfairness and brutal actions of the past. We can only forgive and grow to achieve harmony as a human race.

Am I Bad? Am I Good…?

Black people aren’t who you think they Are…If they were I would be kicked out of my school. Like Martin Luther King jr said: “I Have a Dream! That one day little Black boys And White girls, and white boys and black girls could join together in peace and harmony…”, And yet probably only about 50% of people in the world fulfilled that dream for him. If Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t get killed and still was alive today, America would be a better place because He is the one who has made the claim and he would have stuck to it. Now that he is not here, the world is a Mad House. Almost everyone everywhere are being abusive to one another.

Black People aren’t who you think

Black People are not what you think…People think that black people are rude, mean, and selfish. But if you think about it…black people are not always bad… yes, sometimes they are in a group of people that are their gender, but that doesn’t mean they are in a gang group. Most of them are just friends hanging out. Most people think that when the black people get killed, it’s because they are bad. If they were bad, then every black person would be in jail. Like Martin Luther King jr. said, “If you can’t fly, then you can run. If you can’t run, then you can walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, Just keep moving forward!” Keep Moving forward means to me is that you have to put the past behind you, the bad stuff, and keep moving forward in life! So Listen to Martin Luther King Jr., and keep moving forward.

Titusville, FL.

Having been born in the 70’s, my parents gave me a pretty groovy name. I love my name! But people make a lot of assumptions about me because of it. Mostly they assume I’m going to end up being either “Overly black” or “Overly white” because of it. I’ve had people conducting job interviews look right at the only black lady in the waiting area and call my name to them, but I’ve also had them look at the youngest, tiniest, blondest, whitest girl in the room and do the same.
