I don't know if I'm a devil or an angel around here right now.

108. I come from poor working class

It’s where I learned that being a women means I’m weak, what I look like is more important than what I think. I heard every pejorative term for African Americans by the time I was probably seven years of age. My parents tried not to say “fuck” in front of me though. It’s where I learned that other races are implicitly inferior—although they may have some good points, like the attractiveness of Asian women. It’s where I learned to drink, to smoke, ultimately to do drugs. Not the ones most Americans consider benign.

I recovered from that. I got an education.

Are their good people amongst White Working Class Males? Sure. I married one. But every single one I am related to or know personality had to “evolve” when it came to gender. When it came to race. Or didn’t evolve and continues to think jokes with the “N” word in them are funny and people just need to lighten up

My husband and I don’t put up with that shit. We’ve both traveled too far to defend anything about it.
