Y'all

Saying that white privilege doesn't exist is bullshit. I learned that real quick growing up in Arizona with my dad. My dad is brown and fits the 'Mexican' stereotype profile, meanwhile I took more of the white features from my mom's side. Most white people don't give me shit like they do with my dad and that has nothing to do with money and all to do with race. People are constantly questioning his legal status or making racist remarks towards him. That's because he 'looks' Mexican aka is brown.…

the white family we were working for at the time. We played outside, it wasn’t a lot but more than y’all with those IPhones, IPads, and IDevices.” After that question, we talked more about his childhood and his experiences of going to school during segregation and after it which led him to say “That is another difference, I did experience it [segregation] long, however y’all kids will never have to y’all get the best and equal education. College is expected and it available for everyone as it…

register and vote without the the test and a low fee. The book states “Mr. Pineville sighed. ‘Do all of y’all know how to read?,’” and “You gotta pay a fee,’ the registrar warned.” Another example of segregation and racism in the book is when Dr. Packard refused to help Mama when she was bitten by a snake. He should’ve helped her no matter what her skin color or race was. Sharon Draper wrote, “Y’all got a colored doctor down there. Don’t be bringing’ all this botheration to me.” All in all,…

Walcom to the Cyprass Creek. I’m George DewHart. Y’all have a goo ol’ time here, this week. This camp is fulled with acres of darn good places to play ‘round with y’all friends...” After he talked for what seemed like an hour, we finally got our luggage and headed for our cabins. “Y’alllllll!!!!” Jacob screamed out of the blue. Everyone started to laugh. “Y’all have a goo ol’ time here!!!” Jacob mimicking the creepy old man again. If you couldn't tell…

Trip To St. Louis In our life, there are times we can’t forget. The happy times are very precious, that we can’t forget about and we always keep it in our hearts and our thoughts. One of these times was my trip to Saint Louis with my family last year. My mum used to attend a lot of conferences. One of them was the conference of American Society of Pharmacology (ASP). This is a scientific annual conference where a lot of scientists in the field of Natural Products and Drug Discovery from all…

As they slammed the door it made her jump. Her father looked over at her and told her to get out and go inside. She ran from her hiding place into the house as fast as possible. Once she was inside she watched out the window hopping to see what was going on in the barn. She stood at the window waiting for a good bit and then the sheriff and her father emerged with Noyes in between them and two of the sheriffs deputies. With a look of accomplishment on his face her father looked over at her…

“Oh, my fault. Damn! I wasn’t supposed to know that, was I? I knew from day one sum’n wasn’t right about you, I just couldn’t put my finger on the shit. Mama always told me to follow my intuition. And the vibe I always got from you was fucked up.” Cuzzo paused to hit the strong a few times, blew the smoke out of his nose and continued. “Well, I decided to do a background check on you to see what your past was like, and to see if my instincts were really on point and the result are finally in…”…

comments to my friends. For instance, my friends would tell me about their day and all I would say is, “How interesting…” and not say another word. It really aggravates them, and I like that. Along those lines, I often catch myself saying “y’all” instead of you all. “Y’all” is often a southern type of saying. Such as, “Is this all of y’all’s favorite piece of pie?” Usually this would be something that my grandma would say. This is why I only use it when I’m comfortable with the people I’m…
