That is Enough
Stop talking.
Stop assuming.
Stop pretending to listen.
Stop treating me as if I'm not human.
I live on this Earth, just like you.
I breathe the air, just like you.
I eat here, just like you.
I am restricted by the law to discriminate, just like you.
Some of you preform reverse racism.
Some of you preform real racism.
Some of you preform for your higher ups.
Some of you preform for your favorites.
You are disgusting, no better than I am.
You act repulsive, no better than I am.
You will be dirty, no better than I am.
You are no smarter, no cleaner, no better than I am.
You never will be.
You never thought for once that I was your equal.
You never thought that maybe she didn't want to crawl into that car with you.
You never thought once that you would get caught, did you?
Among the things I can't say to teachers, it is a very wide range.
How many teachers think that their students are their underlings; a very wide range.
We are not underlings though, and though you preach equalism, you treat us like idiots, oh you wide range of assholes.
Just stop acting like everything we do is wrong, because there are a wide range of us.
Please stop treating us different, one better than another, one worse than another, because there are a wide range of us.
And some of us may say something.
