Blurred Lines: Race and Color in America

I was told that the State of Michigan sees Black people as a race unto themselves. My case manager at Community Network Services (CNS) said she is passing. Her father is a White man and her mother is Black. She says that her mother encourages the practice and told her every where she goes where they ask, check the box that says “White”, because she looks White. I recall the story where Meghan Markle was told by her teacher to check the “White” box, because she could pass, and she looks White and that’s the right box to check. She looked up at her teacher and asked a pertinent question, “What about my Mom?” The teacher looked at her like she was weird or something. Who wouldn’t want to be White? Someone who led a simple and comforting life, with a woman, a Black woman that loved her, protected her and taught her to love herself, both sides. My case manager told me that she does as her mother told her and when she checked her credit score when she went to buy a car it was 830, without her ever buying one thing. She said she and her mother lived good off her credit score. I couldn’t say anything but shrug my shoulders. Who wouldn’t want to live a privileged life?

She said while working for the State of Michigan that she was told to listen to clients’ voices and if you believe they are Black, check that box on their application. She also disclosed that every other race is considered White. Hispanic, Asian or Island Pacific is White and get better benefits. I had a young man interview me the other day that thought I was lying about everything and asked for proof about everything. I have a letter waiting for me in “Mi Bridges”, and I know it will be cutting my benefits. My case manager at CNS says they don’t do that to White people, who are everyone that is not Black. I guess we work the system that is meant to keep us down and not get ahead and turn our homes into one parent household and keep our young Black men in the streets selling drugs to get out of their hopeless situation and in prison.

Then I think of Trump. I don’t think by any means he is right. He wants to keep illegals out of the country to stop them from being privileged. When the come to America, they are considered White. Unlike Blacks, whose situation is embedded in the make up of this country. When you get so many Mexicans in the country, the way the system is set up, you are letting in more White people who don’t look White. In the time of a race war, probably and most likely won’t fight on your side. Yet, they are allowed all the privileges you have. That’s why 2050 is so important. Trump is trying to fix things for his people, before it’s to late. I was right in thinking that the women at my mother’s job were taking over. They were taking jobs from Black people. They were all prostitutes. Back 20 years ago they didn’t bring whores into the hotels to be sold, but the housekeepers were the whores. The guest, usually White men enjoy the company of Black women. The women taking over at my mother’s job were from El Salvador. My mother wasn’t a prostitute but was old school and used to take the bus down Woodward to clean the Kingsley Inn, before hotels became whore houses.

The women that “work” out the hotels, today, are not cleaning rooms, but living in them, usually for free and prostitute for their room and board. I’ve moved three times and probably four this week, because I am not a prostitute. I guess I’m attractive and could bring in a “plenty penny” They don’t realize is how I live, not being a whore, is what makes me so attractive. My faith in God and my willingness to do his will, is what makes me so attractive. When I start doing things outside His will for my life, I will destroy everything in me that will make me attractive. I want Trump to get rid of all the Mexican Monsters that have the privilege of a White man that abuses it. That woman that was murdered while jogging in a congested neighborhood, houses no more than five feet apart, in broad daylight, lost her life, because of the deception of looks. A Hispanic man followed her around the neighborhood for 20 minutes, before he accosted her, raped her in broad daylight, because he saw her as something he wanted. White people in that neighborhood saw him as White and not a threat.

If he would have been a Black man following her the way he did, the alarms would have been sounded. It’s who you perceive as a threat that makes a difference. Anything light is right. Unless like Meghan Markle refuses to choose, for whatever reason. My case manager is a mole in life that people should be aware of, that White people should know of, because she’s collecting your secrets and telling the world. In my present situation living in hotels, I’ve seen Mexican immigrants using their White privilege to bully people, to bully me into sexually charged situations. I can’t throw my trash away without at least two of them following me around. I left my phone in my car the other day. I guess the people here have cameras and told them I was on my way out. There were three walking towards me. I looked down at the asphalt, not to make eye contact. Like a dog, “Never look them in the eye.” At the same time, there were like seven of them walking towards me as I quickened to my car. It could have been a gang rape there in the parking lot! I couldn’t go back the way I came, because they had gathered near that door.

I swear there were 20 of them, but it could have been less, but the situation was that my fear caused the number to be exasperated to more than there was. The next morning, a Mexican man was outside my window power washing a rug. Now, I noticed when I woke, I thought it was landscapers. That’s normal enough this time of the year. In looked outside and there was a Mexican man with a bald head cleaning this rug. He stopped for a bit but went back to his noise making. Something came over me, even if he works here, he’s an illegal. Just like the men who harassed me the day before. I got on my computer and left a tip for ICE. I thought that Trump could get him better than I could, because if I was a White woman and there was what seemed to be 20 Black men coming towards me, the police would be called, and somebody would be going to jail. Since I’m Black and nothing in the eyes of the men who are using me for bait, I don’t think ICE has been here. I called the Human Trafficking people to report all my issues about my stays at these three hotels I’ve lived in they hang up in my face, because I record my calls. I don’t know how long many of you have been following me, but remember Robert Ford? The OCSD lieutenant who called me to threaten me about his Black deputies who were harassing me. That’s why I record all my phone calls. When I did get to their website to file a complaint, because the woman disconnected the call, there was a message. It said that they’ll get back to me in two weeks. I’ll be dead by then. No one important cares about me.

Matt, the head pimp came in and found out I hadn’t I hadn’t been “turned out” by the noise, he set the fire alarm off in my room for his entire shift. Just when I thought he was finished, he set it off, again! I believe he’s Chaldean, that’s not Black, and therefore he is White. He could care less that my stomach hurt from the noise that alarm made. That was his intent. He has all the privileges of a White man and can do as he pleases. I don’t know in my 54 years on this earth a White man that would do something so inhuman. I don’t know one in the position to do something about who wouldn’t do something about it. I just took a Unisom and went to bed and was glad Matt’s shift was over. I just wonder how many attractive women have gone through this. Trump, should really know, because he’s used his privilege to hurt women. “You only see in others what you see in yourself.” I don’t see myself at a Trump Rally, but I don’t want to see myself gang raped in a parking lot, either! So, I don’t see any solution, but for women to start loving yourself enough that prostitution isn't the best recourse for an empty pocketbook. Say no to drugs and take care of your children, so they don’t get wrapped up in the mess!
