I myself am of European descent. But my features are very Greek. Dark hair, olive complection. I always considered myself to be white if anything, but a lot of people see me as a minority. I've had a lot of racism directed at me. Much of it directed at me because they thought I was a different race too which is really sad. Police are by far the worst. And those who think this is just a USA problem... I'm not from there. It's a world problem

I think it has gotten worse, in the last 25 years from some i have talked to.
gains lost due to the divisive propaganda of the Right.

I just listened to an author, who has focused on multi generational trauma about lynching.

then,, he said 400,000 people we tortured to death.

4, hundred thousand...

it makes me want to peel my skin off,
i cant stop crying from what he said. stories as awaful as those from nazi germany.. im sick at my stomach.
I dont want to hate my country.
I am a child of prviledge, and dont even know how to talk about this to my Browner Freinds.

i havent the words

I find that many non-minorities don’t see the existence of racism because it’s rarely directed at them, except by individuals in the form of name calling. They don’t understand being treated differently by police, in stores, in the doctor’s office, various little things on a day to day basis. I don’t mean it to sound condescending, but I don’t get angry any more when someone doesn’t see it, I just kind of sigh and move on. And I appreciate those friends who are in tune enough to “get” it that much more.
