The internet is where can be anonymous behind a screen and voice opinions that they may have. But in certain forums and communities you have to be a sheep and agree with certain ideas and opinions. I said an opinion based on stuff I have seen and I never had to deal with people dismissing it based on my user name and the fact that I am white.
Comments that I have heard are down right rude and racist in their own way. "How do you know the black struggle cause you're white and privileged?" Privileged???????? My life has been anything but that. I have lived with a racist father and a bubbled community. If I was privileged, DYFS would have helped me instead of being called 7 times from 4th grade to 10th grade and doing shit. One lady said I deserved it for being a brat.
School was hell. I wear hearing aids so that made things uncomfortable at school. I guess the fact That the teachers made a big deal about it in elementary school continued through out my school career. Band was unbearable. The favorite "joke" was whoever was behind me was to say my name cause I couldn't hear most of the time. It doesn't help that my mental illnesses were undiagnosed.
Being bipolar with borderline personality disorder sucks a hard one. 7 inpatient stays (since I was 20), weight gain, and no steady psychiatrist at my current place isn't helping. I also found out that jobs in Philadelphia can get your mental history through a background check because the county mental health/retardation records aren't sealed.
Don't get me started on the homeless period.
I guess what I'm sating is everyone has problems regardless if your white, black, yellow, indigo, green, etc. So people need to let others have their opinions, especially if they can back it up.

here's my theory on putting it all on race
1. Like omigoshhh it only happens in the urban hellholes of cities!!!!- False in fact there are plenty of black and white RURAL poverty you never hear about
2. Cause Al Sharpton and Rev. Jackson feel the need to bitch and moan instead of actually doing something to help promote change.
3. Omigoshhhh not enough monies going to the schools- Maybe in some areas but commonly, when i see kids huddled on the street corner and walking around center city during school hours, maybe just maybe, encouraging kids to go.
4. Midset of communities can be hard to break. My hometown is 98% white (look up stafford township nj if you dont believe me) and its taking some getting used to for people to accept that theyre are other races and stuff. But the same can be applied to predominant Black communities.
5. Theres's also the concept of not breaking the cycle. To me, and its my opinion and I'll own it, people are afraid to change the way they live. I also believe, if you hate it so much you can get yourself out of it. Being poor and a minority have the same set backs as being poor and white, but you can get yourself out of it if one is willing to do the work. Hell im poor as shit, -$9, stealing wireless connections, eating a meal a day. Im getting myself out of it.
Race is only an issue when someone makes it an issue.

its been a wild few weeks
I'm bipolar now with schizophrenic tendencies
crack head for jesus
abusive mommy
and the original roommate in complete denial
NOT FUN
when I got out
a cry with the mom
sounds with my loves liam and me
they are some scolders
(do I see good daddies in the future?)
weekend turned out to be Silverstein-fest
got hit on my aiden tech jake
who the mom told to take off his pants
therapy is going good
meds make me tired
peace
