Professor Gates, Harvard's Pride

[Shawnee123]

Fuckboy is going to buy me a brand new car to replace the car with 599 miles on it. I finally am mad...he broke the law and I'm the one sitting here in the dark while the insurance companies play their little games.

Can't wait til that little fucker throws the race card, which is where he was headed last I heard (it's a conspiracy against me, he says.)

Yeah, he's black, and from a foreign country. Do I care? No, he threw that card into the ring and I won't put up with that shit.

We weren't around many black people when I was little. (My dad was a foreman on highway construction and we travelled around and lived in some very remote places until I was halfway through first grade.) Before I went to preschool, my mom says she told me "Your teacher, Mrs ____ is black, and you haven't seen a black person." My mom hasn't a racist bone in her body: she wanted me to understand and not be surprised. She said I shrugged and said "is she nice?" I didn't even care when I didn't even know what it meant. Incidentally, my mom thought she was wonderful and from what little I remember I thought so too. *shrugs*

So to have that shit thrown around, and especially at ME, doesn't sit well with me. I quit making excuses for fucking up my life and changed it: why do I now pay for people who won't take responsibility for their own mistakes?

Boohoo, I'm a victim. Yeah, well, so were my ancestors. Bite me. kthxbai.
