Thanksgiving break
Thanksgiving break was a break I really needed. I got the chance to clear my head and think about all the things that's been happening at school, well maybe this year period. A lot has been happening this year, "good" and bad. I can say that I really appreicate everything the people here at Wartburg College has been doing for me. It's not that I don't like this school because I do. It's more about feeling comfortable and wanted here. I want to be able to go to my classes and not have everyone turn their heads when i enter the room, like they've seen a ghost or something. Stop starring at me! It's rude and disrespectful. I worth be ignored then to be glared at like I'm a disgusting creature who's not welcome breathing the same air they're breathing. One day a friend of mine and I was walking to Joe's and this white guy and his friend were walking pass us having a discussion. One of the guys look up at me and my friend and turned back to his friend and said "dude all the girls here are beautiful but they're all black". We both stop, lookked at one another because we didn't know what to do or how to response to a comment like that. Was it a commitment or disrespectful? You tell me cause I still don't know.

Well, it sounds like those guys were some real idiots if you ask me. You are going to run into people like that your whole life who judge you not just on race but on gender or size or life circumstance. I guess he just called you beautiful!!! Try to focus on that or say to your friend, "Dude the guys here are so hot but they are a bunch of jerks!" LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you feel that you are not respected due to your race. That is really too bad!
