@the_jizzle @DrJayDrNo @aleksic Please. You think Black people have it hard. I’m an outcast in the only continent my people have ever known. Our land stolen and left to fend for ourselves, we have only survived because we are smart, intuitive & fight hard. None of us had rights and plenty of discrimination.
@the_jizzle @DrJayDrNo @aleksic You think I’m a house slave? Ha! I grew up in inner city Edmonton. Written off as a drunk and squaw. I’ve had to work for everything I’ve achieved twice as hard and demonstrate twice as much skill and knowledge as others.
@the_jizzle @DrJayDrNo @aleksic You have no right to assert my position is due to a life of leisure and better treatment. I worked my way from abject poverty to middle class because change has happened. And I was smart enough to take advantage of it and use my skills to pull others along with me.
@the_jizzle @DrJayDrNo @aleksic At least you have the colour of your skin to blame for discrimination. When some people find out I’m indigenous I’m treated differently immediately. And I get it from both sides. Not dark enough and not white enough.
@the_jizzle @DrJayDrNo @aleksic Yes let’s keep working towards progress. Keep fighting the good fight. And when we leave this place permanently let’s hope we’ve made a significant enough changes that our grandchildren benefit.
@the_jizzle @DrJayDrNo @aleksic I know my life is significantly better than my grandmother’s. And there’s only 41 years between us.
