I have to say that it's both, really. In a way, I could relate to that, I've had men prove to me time and time again that it's best to avoid them, that if I don't something bad will happen to me and society will put the blame on me but then I realized, I haven't met all the men in the world. I haven't met the gentlemen that live on this Earth yet, it just isn't time for me to meet a man with class instead of "swag". Sure, the black they've met have done nothing but cause pain and suffering, but they can't honestly believe we're all like that, can they? I'm a African American, and because of that people expect, literally expect me to love rap music, to have no other talent but to play a sport, to do drugs, to steal, to harm others, to amount to nothing; all this has been placed on my shoulders because of my skin color. My train of thought is this, skin color should never matter, but what's inside is important; I know it isn't hate they feel, it's more like fear they experience.
Can I blame them? No, I really can't because a mass majority of my race acts that way from what I can tell from my schools and on the television but I don't think any other race is completely scotch free either. Nobody is scotch free, and I think that no matter what, somebody is scared of another person and it may be because of what they've experienced with that certain race of people, such as the man who is upset that a African American man had raped his wife; seriously, who wouldn't be upset if such a thing had happened to a loved one? But no matter the color of the person, I think the only thing that really would have, or should have, mattered would be to catch and kill the person who thought it would be okay to mentally scare another human being. Somebody who had a life with the person they loved, a family possibly, and for somebody to rip that away from another person is wrong.
None of us are equal in the United States, whites are always held above any other race but sooner or later, and I hope and pray that this will happen, the world will make a shift, and with that shift the people who inhabit this planet will start to see that a person of a different race is no different than them, and should be treated as so. But then again, who'd listen to a fifteen year old? One who's a girl? One who loves to read and draw, who loves calming music and non American music so I don't have to be called a bitch over a beat, a girl who has dreams for her future? A black girl?
Nobody would listen to me about what I think, I don't matter, so I'm hoping that maybe, even if just a little bit, I made an impact on somebody with this. Sure, I can be snappy, I can be mean and rude, but I'm human, and I'd love to one day have my children in a world where they can live freely and comfortable, able to say hello to their neighbors every morning and get the same cheery response, to be happy to go to work everyday or to go to school everyday. I don't want racism to exist anymore, I don't want hatred, I don't want dread, I just want everybody happy and safe.

Just ignore the racist people you see, as a Christian I can say this; the Lord didn't like hatred, Jesus didn't like hatred and that's simply because hatred couldn't bread love, it could only bread more hatred. Sure, people are going to try and say that people of African heritage are unintelligent, that we always flap our lips, that we are the evil of the world, but they never stop to think that it's their train of thought, that hatred that just coursed through there veins like a slow poison, making them see the world in only divided pieces. I've been insulted multiple times by racist people on the internet, but it took me a little while to learn that yeah, they can talk tough behind a computer screen but if we were face to face, they wouldn't say the same words to me because unlike on here where I don't have the ability to fight back, in real life I could actually punch them for their ignorance. Don't be irate about the situation sweetheart, what they wish upon another person is documented by Heaven above, and while sometimes it could happen to that person who wished it upon another, the Lord could also put it against them when they try to go through the golden gates. Racism is here yes it is, but we can change it, but it's a matter of HOW we change it. Never give up hope, and pray to God; he'll show you the way.
