Chapter 10:

All American Girl vs Injustice

Chapter 10:

 

You may have noticed that I changed the title of these essays from All American Girl vs Racism in America to All American Girl vs Injustice.  I’ve decided to make this change, because I have to address all the ‘isms’ not just racism.   Not that racism could ever be “just” racism.  (Two ways you could read that sentence—choose the right one.)

 

So, here’s what we’re going to talk about:

 

  1. 1.   Racism
  2. 2.   Sexism
  3. 3.   Homophobia
  4. 4.   Immigration
  5. 5.   DACA/Dreamers
  6. 6.   Bullying
  7. 7.   Homelessness
  8. 8.   Starving children in the world
  9. 9.   Poverty

 

I’m not going to stop talking about #blacklivesmatter until they actually do.  But, I’m also going to spotlight the other 8 topics because it’s got to be done.   We’ve got to stop hating on each other.  We’ve got to do something to help each other.  We’ve got to do better.  I don’t know how to keep saying this.  Everyday, before I even open my eyes, I pray to God, “please make it be better today.” And everyday, I get gut punched because people, with their free will, have killed another innocent person.  The side in favor of the innocent person protests only to be met with violence.  The side in favor of injustice, finds a way to blame the victim and tries to destroy those who are fighting for justice.

 

I’m going to be writing these essays 2 – 5 times a week.  I’m going to make you uncomfortable.  I’m going to keep fighting for justice for my family and friends. I’m going to keep fighting to make this world a better place.

 

I welcome comments and debate and difference of opinion.  What I will not welcome and do not tolerate is hatred.  I’ve touched on this before—your personal feelings do not equal an opinion.  You can have an opinion on your favorite tv show or book, or what you want to eat for dinner tonight.  You do not have an opinion when you are oppressing people of other races, ethnicities, religions, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or social status.  That, my friends in not opinion but oppression.
