The system of racism (white supremacy) effects me as a child by white people mistreating me directly and indirectly. When I was 9 years old and going to public school, this white girl named Alicia would call me names and flick my paper. When I would be working on my school work, she would kick my chair, hit me with her back-pack, and more. When I would come home I would cry and tell my Dad what happened that day. I also cried once at school. When I cried, the first and only non-white so called black teacher that I've ever had would handle the problem and talk to me. Alicia is a bully. Alicia would swing her jacket trying to hit me with the zipper and she did once when I got off of the bus. I found out later that Alicia lives with two females who Alicia says are her mothers. One of them is supposed to be her dad. I think both of them are anti-sexual. One day, when my class was done with recess Alicia said to me, "You are CHOCOLATE," meaning the skin color chocolate. I suspect this white girl is a racist/white supremacist.

ReplyDeleteIt is most unfortunate that being black in America provoke so much anger and hostility from the very people who should be guilt ridden and seeking our forgivness. But I believe that most white people feel justified in their ill treatment of non-whites and refuse to make amends.
Stay stron on your journey to elightenment and continue to be voice for the voiceless.
I appreciate your work - berta
Unfortunately, the reverse is also true, when I was in 3rd grade, I was the only white girl in my elementary school. One girl in particular tormented me while I was at that school. Then I moved to a different state, and I was still tormented. The race of the bullies were different, but the spirit was definitely the same
ReplyDeleteI wish you would have punched that kid's front teeth loose.
