Judge
‘’ I have a dream that my children will not be judge by they color but by their character” What is racism ? racism mean to me is people who get treated very differently because of how they look and make them feel like an outcast and treat them like monsters that there not .
Reminds me of an story my mom told me when she was an little girl about 12 years old she was riding in car with her and her two other cousins riding around Stockton CA. going to sign her cousin up for high school witch is her aunty oldest child they got lost and ended up in part of stockton knowin to every blacks it's called “okie villie’ because it was a part of stockton that was permanently whites and known to be racist her aunty informed them of it and had told them to don't be scared but they were . they pulled in a gas station to use a pay phone out of nowhere this white guy and this girl pulled up in a truck and start throwing beer cans at their car but dents in there car and yelled and told them to “get out of there side of town n*****’’. And began to approach there car she ducked behind the seat started to cry and she closed her eyes and her aunty had started off in a panic she’ll never forget that day in the “okie ville’’.
Now that i think about it this takes me back were i was told i was wasn't gonna get nowhere in life .Because of how i'm black and ghetto and howdressed i was told that by my 6th grade substitute teacher and i started crying and i called my mom and she came up here quickly to my class after school and cussed him out yelling and threats like a lot of threats my dad was even finna come up there to fight him . My mom walk back down to the office and was yelling at the principle telling her “your subb that you hired racially stereotyped my daughter and got him fired for stereotyping . For example a boy name stephon cluck got shot 20 times because he was standing outside tryna get in his grandmas at night and he had a phone in his hand and the officers thought it was a gun and killed him. As i think about it now we get stereotyped a lot still even it seems like we don't no more.
