AH HA MOMENT


I won't pretend to know all the differences between democrats and republicans. I won't pretend to be a political know-it-all. But, I do know the difference between right and wrong. And so much of what I see happening is WRONG. I haven't said much, not because I choose to stay silent, but because my heart and head are so overwhelmed I don't even know where to start. But tonight my head landed in a good spot. Racism is real and still very prevalent, although I wish it wasn't. Especially not in 2017.

I remember when I was 17 or 18 being pulled over (for no legitimate reason) by a couple of white Acworth police officers with a few of my girlfriends and some of our guy friends, who yes... so happened to be black. I'll never forget one of the cops looking at me and saying "the only reason for a white girl to be in this area with black men is to sell sex for drugs." And then telling me that I wasn't allowed in that area again. I remember being pulled over (again, for no real reason) with my boyfriend at the time and having my car searched head to toe, made us get out of the car, etc.... I remember being in high-school and hearing some boys call me a n***** lover. Or the time I accidentally overheard some guys I went to school with talk negatively about my body and said it was because I f*** with n******).

I've heard men of color tell me that there is a part of them that is scared to be in a relationship with a white women, due to the "power" that white people seem to have... aka white privilege and that hurts my heart. I've been asked on multiple occasions "so what do your parents think about you dating a black man?"

Because here's the truth (ugly but true). I can get pulled over and not feel scared at all. But all of the men and women and of color that I know and love, will most likely feel fearful if they are pulled over. That's NOT how our country should be. I don't know exactly what to do to change it, but I do know that we CANNOT keep traveling the road that leads to our past.

Here's another truth. When I first heard "BLACK LIVES MATTER" ... I thought to myself well yes, they do, but don't all lives matter. Then I started really listening to what was behind that statement and the light bulb came on. So you know what... it's nothing for me to argue about, disagree with, etc etc... My part in all of this, in my opinion, is to 110% back African Americans. Because, yes... all lives matter, but right now #BLACKLIVESMATTER.

I wish I could stop all the hate and ignorance that is taking place. There is enough hate in the world, why do we need to hate based on someone's race?! Based on how they were BORN?! Based on how exactly the way God intended them to be. We all bleed red. We are all loved by God. And I don't know about y'all, but my God loves every single person on this earth.... white, black, purple, green, blue, christian, Jewish, gay, straight... Everyone. Period.

Lastly, I know I'm not a political genius, (to be honest I still don't know where I stand as far as democrat, republican, blah blah etc etc) but for the love of God - someone get this joke of a president out of office. Not because he's a republican. Because he is a sorry excuse for a man and an awful depiction of what a leader of a country should look like. And not to mention he is failing miserably at life. (Morally speaking)

Some of this might seem like TMI or too harsh or too brutal, but it’s just real. Love you all ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
