Did you know?


Dear White People, 

You say you are scared of us

because of

"our violence",

"our words",

"our faces",

"our demeanor".

But did you know,

you scare us

because of 

your hate,

your anger,

your guns,

and the look in your eyes that show

you

despise us.

Did YOU know that?

 

Sincerely,

a young black girl, Stephanie
