SEARCH RESULTS FOR: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SPEAKING ABOUT “THE WALL”. I AM MARRIED TO A WHITE MAN AND I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I’VE BEEN IN A SEEMINGLY INNOCUOUS SITUATION LIKE GROCERY SHOPPING WITH MY MOTHER IN LAW WHEN SHE COMES UP WITH SOME RACIST SHIT. I HAVE BEEN CALLED A PICKANINY, I HAVE BEEN TOLD MY MIDDLE NAME IS “GHETTO” BY MY BROTHER IN LAW WHO HIMSELF HAS AN UNCOMMON NAME ( BUT IT’S “UNIQUE WHEN WHITE PEOPLE DO IT), I WAS INVITED OUT BY MY MOTHER IN LAW ONLY TO BE TOLD SHE INVITED ME BECAUSE SHE INVITED AN IMMIGRANT FROM SUDAN AND WANTED HIM TO SEE “ANOTHER BLACK FACE” ( I CAN SEE WHY HE’D BE TERRIFIED IN A ROOM FULL OF THESE WHITE PEOPLE), AND JUST WHEN I THINK THAT SPEAKING UP ABOUT IT HAS CHANGED THINGS THEY DO IT AGAIN OR DEFEND THE IDEAS A ” PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS”. THEY PRIVILEGE THEIR RACIST ” OBSERVATIONS” OVER MY ACCURATE OBSERVATIONS OF THEIR RACISM. WHAT BOTHERS ME AND HURTS THE MOST IS THAT RATHER THAN LEAVING ME TO DEAL WITH HIS FAMILY ( WHO DO NOT THINK THEY ARE RACIST) HE SPEAKS TO ME IN PRIVATE ABOUT HOW WRONG IT WAS AND ASKS IF I’M OK. I KNOW THE SHIT IS WRONG MAYBE TELL YOUR FAMILY INSTEAD OF LEAVING THE “OVERLY SENSITIVE” BLACK WOMAN TO DO IT. THANKS FOR PROVIDING A SPACE FOR ME TO VENT ABOUT THIS. *PHEW*
