Okay…I’ll start this one out. As for women, yes…I have been a little callous at times. I was raised to believe they are kind of second class, you know, behind the man. I put it away until my sister did what she did to me, to me, proving that women do follow the man. At that point I started feeling myself. I mean you hear the R&B artist’s songs, and man it’s like I know exactly what he’s saying. Who is it that sings Ain’t No Love In Me? That was me for a while.
Bias, yes, I didn’t like White people period that’s why I was so uncomfortable at my first meeting Mason. It was to white for me. But you were right, you saw even deeper…you saw a pain I thought I had long since learned to mask and forget about. When I saw you, I knew that look and I realized I was where I belonged and you knew exactly what that pain feels like. Needless to say, I now have a whole shit load of friends who are like brothers to me and they are White. They embraced me, welcomed me, and helped me start to really heal.
I am glad to say, I do not harbor any of those bitter feelings today and I am grateful. I am not nor have a ever been a republican as the republicans in congress today sicken me to my core.
