Moment caught by @mariaelizabethowen my elegant and beautiful friend ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā The other kids on the school bus seemed to be part of a club that i wasn't invited to. Sometimes i wished i was white so i could join them. The cruelest of them would never fail to remind me i would never qualify. They'd call me Chink(not Chinese lmao). Tell me to go back to my country(I'm already here). Pour soda over my head (most the time Pepsi. Which i loved). One set off fireworks in my face (fuck you Michael, i ain't forgot about u lmao). But the older i get the more i see it wasn't the bullying kids that doomed me to a minority's fate. But the majority who sat by, watched, and did nothing... Do the knowledge! ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā "I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councilor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice." -MLK ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā #RemindMySoul #equality #America #humanrights #charlottesville #trump #love #lovevshate (at New York, New York)
