I had the wildest experience last night.
I was sitting around with my co workers after work and having a couple of beers. Then we were all just talking and vibing and laughing when someone made reference to race and my eyes shot open.
For the first time I looked at our group and I squinted then questioned, “Are you white?”
“Uh…yeah,” one guy answered.
I turned to his girl, “Are you white too?”
“Yeah, Tee. What did u think I was?”
I turned to the bartender. “Jenn, are you white too?”
“Yeah, Tee.”
I took a few steps back and put my hand over my heart. All this time I had been hanging with these people and loving them and having fun with them and just getting to know their stories and their hopes and…some of them are WHITE.
I had ONE white friend back in undergrad and that hoe was a bitch. A selfish bitch too. I ddnt even accept her friend request when she contacted me on FB cuz I have no desire to ever speak to that hoe again.
But these people..they’re not like that. And I’m grateful to know them. And they don’t care that I’m a writer and they don’t care that I have a blog and they don’t even KNOW that I’m a superstar personality and am destined to become a ridiculous author with a great reach..they just like vibing with me.
And they’re young and old, black and white- all together- just vibing. And I’m so happy about that. And I hope I continue to know them forever. And I’m glad they call me to hang out and I promise to never try to hurt them.
And…I’m just so happy…that for once I met some good people…that I want to socialize with and love and who want to love me back.
And I’m just…grateful.
