Having Real Talks About Racism
Finally and thankfully it looks like we’re on the cusp of having a real discussion about racism.
It’s something I know all too well. I was beaten down by society's judgments of who they perceived me to be, through discriminating mockery with a smile, aggressive language and stereotyped views that included thinking I am a lesser person and will amount to nothing more.
Why? Well because I’m an indigienous person in a country that didn’t want me.
Am I bitter? No. Did it make me stronger? Absolutely, anger wasnt getting me anywhere.
Was I going to let the actions of others determine who I would become and what I could accomplish?
No, that thought never crossed my mind.
I put my mind to being a successful person and I also wanted to set an example. I wanted to break down racist barries, not build em up.
