Switchin In The Kitchen

BEING A BLACK GIRL

Living in the United States and being black, in general, is very rough. From the police brutality to the injustice within the system, the black race is designed to fail. Mainly our kings get mistreated the most from the whole world and it’s sickening because I have sons. We can’t make any mistakes or it will cause us our freedom verses a white person commiting the same crime and not doing a single day in jail. “Why do y’all hate us?????” There are perks to the different black skin tones also. Since I’m light skinned, I had it a little better and I noticed it around my teenage years. I was given good jobs without any experience and was given warnings for traffic stops instead of a ticket. I also remember when they would check the white girls for lice in elementary and I had to be checked also(the only black girl required to be checked). I thought it was weird as a little girl but being that I had a head full of hair and it was straight, now I understand. I grew up in a military family and ended up growing up in Montgomery Alabama, so I had a great childhood. I was taught to love everyone and treat the CEO the same way as you would treat the janitor. I wasn’t raised to praise material things and just to simply make what you have fabulous. I grew up in church faithfully lol and that’s all I knew and could do. I couldn’t go to proms or school dances. I wasn’t allowed a boyfriend and all of my other friends did. When I got older and was able to get away from my parents, is when I really started to see the world for what it was. I noticed that we (Blacks)couldn’t get loans for businesses but could get a school loan 👀....but you would see all the Arabs and Indians with stores in our neighborhood. How is that possible? They barely speak English. Our own country? Wow! My ancestors were raped, overworked, hung, burned alive, beaten, family divided etc....and we get treated like shit. “Why do y’all hate us so much?” The justice system is very different when it comes to different races. They double or triple the sentences for blacks and my question to whomever is reading this and has the answers to it, feel free to let me know, “Why are we hated so much?” Still to this day I don’t hate white people, hell one of my best friends is white and I love her ass to death. I wouldn’t trade her for the world!! It’s not her fault what happened years ago.....I like white people just not racists white people. I have two grown sons and I don’t feel safe when they leave the house and that’s mainly because of the police. It’s sad to say but some white people joined the police force only to beat and kill blacks without any repercussions because after they could no longer handle us that way, a bunch of the fuckers quit. They supposed to protect and serve but whenever they get behind me or is just around me in any kind of way, I feel paranoid instead of protected! For all you “Karen’s” out there who falsely accuse black people of things not true, y’all need y’all ass whooped because it’s been going on for too long and it’s ridiculous. White privilege at its best. I’ve been pulled over on bogus charges and it’s a shame they can make shit up and do what they want. One pulled me over for a loud radio one day but my radio didn’t even work at the time. Stuff like this needs to come to an end and if you’re not being a police to protect and serve us, them take your ass on! It’s definitely not supposed to be like that and I just wish we could live normal like everyone else, is that too much to ask for? Donald Trump keeps saying “Make America Great Again” but when was it ever great for black people? I’ll wait......................................................... Exactly! With hard work and determination, I’m sure we can overcome all of these obstacles. I love everybody and wish we could all get along no matter the color of our skin. One race=human race. Peace love and happiness to everyone!!!!✊🏽✌🏽
