I was born in America, but I’ve never lived in America.

The freedoms, rights & opportunities I had were not American.

Teachers threatened me with violence & told me to drop out & go to vocational school.

Police beat me in my work uniform for driving home.

I’m American on paper only.

No American child should be told that they’re NOT American, but
“WE” are, as teachers, students & police told me.

No American child should have a shotgun pulled on them because a white girl came to their house.

No American child should have to have lead removed from their eye from a racial attack with a pencil.

We all have different lived experiences.

Let’s please not bring the same mentality we have on other platforms here.

Let’s do better.
