I’m tired of my bi-racial experience being used as proof of progress… Sometimes I think my parents were selfish to have kids and then act like everything would be fine. There are still unequal power dynamics, still racism in their relationship, and they wonder why their kids are insecure and damaged. Kids should never feel ashamed to be in public with a parent or hate themselves for being racially “other,” but sadly this is common amongst many biracial youth I know.

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.
