wont let me write, wont let me call.
i am just really wondering how you went down that road? what made you literally, CONSCIOUSLY CHOOSE to hate?
you are one of the people i knew i would never loose. one of the people who would be there when i got married or had kids (not like thats the plan, but sometimes dreams cant help but be stereotypical)....and i love you. your supposed to love me too. its impossible now, isnt it?
i remember how we would sit up late at night watching crass movies and talking about how to turn over the system....REVERSE racisim, sexisim, etc. discussions about embracind different religions.....you were fully supportive of my transition into jewish studies and half-way belief. remember that? the man i loved with the star of david over his heart? all of those things.....
all the things you now so addiantly wish to eliminate.
right now, i am in a culture where i am the minority (though respected more then anyone of mexican decent). do you realize that in most of the world white is not the prevailing reflection?
.....i am watching in your face racisim....between two types of latinos. its mind numbing. i see indegenous people....mayans.....with no home, no land, and absolutely no respect. i meet women whos children have died of starvation because the government refuses to fund programs for indegenous groups. i watch rich, light skinned latinos kick homeless children out of their doorways, because they are 'other blood'. and i have not seen, but heard, about murders played out by the military, of many many men of myan ancestry who are simply asking for their farmland back.
i wonder if you have seen this sort of racisim you seem to premote. i wonder if you watched Norma, my weaving teacher, with tears in her eyes, explain how her husband was beaten to death as the police idily stood by for leaving his land and crossing into the side of the puebla that he was segragated from....i wonder if you heard these things, saw these things....if you'd be so tough.
or are you just a pathetic little girl in a town with almost no diversity to directly opress......trying to fit in and get a boy to like her.
you should think about it.
and you should think about your friends.....about me in mexico. my friends, the people who have protected me, the people who have fed me, taught me, cared about me....are all from a gene pool you would like to see killed off. and as i become more and more serious about my study and belief in judaisim....i wonder what you you have to say to me? id like to know....
if your heart has litteraly been so poisoned that you could tell me to my face that youd want me and my friends to be eliminated from this earth.
i stood up for you. i could never believe that you would actually take this shit so far. i respected your capability of being a smart, moral, loving person. when people started calling you nazi scum.....i defended you.
its scary to see how wrong i was.
my heart breaks for you.
