Segregation , slavery, abuse what more else can we go through? . Black African Americans often feel like the worst race in the world. We are more than what you see. We are not just ignorant , loud, ghetto and dimensional people. We go through and have been through a lot since the black police killings, and hard livings.

We’re conditioned to be afraid of going to certain parts of the country, afraid of people with certain political views, afraid of police officers, and sometimes even afraid of other black and Latino people. As a black person I feel like we are in a world where color still matters and the only color is white. Blacks get judge like a cover for a book , well in society eyes at least. Our dark skin is what society considers to be a curse. We bring bad to all that we touch. We are often called less fortunate because we come from places that knows nothing of neighbourhood watches.

It's difficult when you don't have anything to fall back on in rough times but concrete. That of course is because we rent have not been paid for last month. We are constantly getting embarrassed due to our too little or too big hand me downs. This makes us feel less of a human we thought we were. Constantly trying to make it doing our best to fit in. Do they really care about us and what we go through or are we just seen as people who don't belong here. We just want to be treated and respected the same as everyone else . Why Do They Fear Us ?

Born in two different worlds a desperate one where the surroundings or harsh, unpredictable and predators abound and the other is hopeful where a person is predictably comfortable. They probably think we are out for revenge, fear that will one day
