Being a white from the Italian/Mediterranean region, I've come across a lot of tough and frustrating times. I wanted to share my story to let everyone see that Blacks and Asians are not the only ones suffering.
I live in America, a land of race mixing. My descendants were Italian and migrated over here several generations ago. They came over here for a better life. I hope they found it, because I definitely did not.
I wasn't allowed to ask "Why is that person a different color?" I would get slapped. I wasn't allowed to ask about another person's culture, I would get in trouble. My parents wanted me to keep to myself and keep my head down. Every time there was a shooting, I was not allowed to call the person by their race. If I said "black" I was automatically assumed a racist. When the presidential race happened in 2008, I got screamed at by a black person for supporting a white person. They called me racist even though I was not allowed to explain why I supported this person. Of course, this was before I came to Spiritual Satanism. Another time, a black woman cut in line in front of me and I told her that it was unfair that she cut in front of me. She started having a hissy fit, screaming how I was a racist and I was trying to oppress her and said I was the reason for black slavery. What is ironic is my grandfather was Italian and he moved over here long AFTER the civil war and slavery was abolished, yet I am getting blamed for something my grandfather never did. My other grandfather (on my father's side) was a brilliant scientist. According to what my father said, "It would not have been possible for us to see the moon landing, however your grandfather fought NASA and told them to broadcast it so people could see where their tax dollars went." Whether or not the moon landing actually happened, I still hold my grandfather in a high view point. I want to go into the field of animal science, but how can I when all the scholarships and aid is against me? There is no "White Scholarship" only black, asian, native america, and so on. People can get these scholarships just because of their race, but white people cant. It's very difficult. I just wanted to call out how unfair it is and everyone is screaming about equality, yet we cannot achieve that. We need Justice, not Equality. Justice will give everyone a fair chance, not equality.
