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