“Mistreat me or rip my heart out if you please. And then you get angry when I die,” Fishbone sings to me this evening.
And I continue to read my TublahFam’s thoughts about that Jane Elliot video, I’m pissed. This fucking country is so racist. We learn it so early on in our lives, and we try to adapt - to survive in spite of the human degradation.
What makes me want to...

I miss him so much.
I know that he is coming home, but I miss him so much.
I’m still so sad that I never got to meet my father-in-law.
We planned to visit Musa Pasha this year.
I’m so sorry that he passed away so unexpectantly.

He would have loved knowing me, in person.
I’m still sad that Musa is...

Their father had immigrated to my country of birth as an economic migrant and his sons had followed to study. They showed me multimedia memories of home sent by their mother who had since relocated to Venezuela. We used...

Please shut up!
“You’re beautiful even if you’re dark skinned.”
“It doesn’t matter if you’re dark skinned, we’re all beautiful.”
Or ”Let me say some shit to make it seem like being dark skinned is just as good as being lighter so that you see that you can be beautiful even if your skin color is darker than mine.”
