In the wake of the election I don't feel like there is any place for me.
I came from the white folks who voted for Trump. They don't accept me. They don't listen to me. Do you know how many times I've been called racist words by my brothers and other white kids? I wasn't white enough. I was also raised by self hating "ethnic" white folks.
Then I leave those abusive people and I don't deny the reality of my white privilege, but...I didn't choose to be white. I didn't choose to have my culture assimilated and obliterated. But I'm not directing my frustration at people of color, I'm directing it at white supremacy.
But still, at the end of the day...I don't think I belong anywhere.
