i need a moment...

Ok, so the other day @ the grocery store, I noticed a white guy walk up pushing his buggy while I was looking at some packs of meat. He kept a good distance between us & he looked off in the distance as I contemplated whether or not I wanted to make a purchase. Anyway, like I said, it was me, him, & his buggy. He waited until I walked off b4 he walked on up to look at the meat. I know sum ppl might think I'm blowing the whole thing outta proportion, but the thing is, I'm not like that. I dont try to pull the 'race card' every chance I get, I try to avoid it at all costs. But this stuck out like a sore thumb to me. Why couldn't he stand near or beside me & while looking at the meat? He waited until I walked off, & its not like there wasn't enough room for the both of us and his buggy. Last time I checked, the 1st human civilizations were Summerian (modern day Iraq), Egyptian (African), and Aztec/Mayan (South American)....we are the original ppl. Ppl of color are the very roots & origin of our entire modern human civilization, but, in my opinion, whites have come in &, in their own sinister ways, destroyed & denounced what we built. Why have we forgotten our true place in history? In the world? How have they managed to make us feel so bad about ourselves & actually hate the very characteristics that make us beautiful? From the color of our skin, to our full lips, to the very hair that grows out of our scalps?! I, personally, am infuriated by the very thought of this & yearn for a better day. A day of equality, respect, & brotherhood among all humans. Racism sickens me, at any extent. & a few bad apples have ruined the bunch...no matter what side u're on.

I'm just angry at the fact that white ppl, in general, think & carry themselves like they are higher & mightier than other races of ppl (& treat everyone else that way, too). If anything, every race other than white is higher & mightier than they are. Our children need to be taught about the true histories of our universe, planet, world, countries...
NOT the caucasian-friendly edited condensed version of history that has been brainwashing & dumbing kids for years. Its all part of a bigger system, one that's NOT concerned w/ the well-being of all its citizens. One that thrives off of groupthink & subordination. One that fears those of us who are awake & educated on the true scope of whats really good.
