“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 throw my laptop against the wall, is the thought that my children have faced it and will continue to face it - this pain, this sense of inferiority, this feeling of disempowerment, this bullshit.  That White girl in the video cried and stormed out.  Where the fuck will my children go cry?  What room can I storm out of?  What “experiment” can my husband simply decide to leave?  

Fuck.
