I was raised in a white middle class home. The police came to my house once a month, whether because my dad was scaring the crap out of us, shutting off the power, or trying to kill himself. Twice a month from the age of 10 on, I had to step up to my dad and intervene from him verbally abusing my mother. We would go on bowl trips and away games for KSU and i looked forward to them. What I got was being left alone with my sister (four years younger) in a bar. Got to watch him hit on women in front of my mother. And at other times listen to his drunk ass argue with my mom about all these women he had slept with while married to her. I haven't seen my dad in ten years and my childhood mumped my life up. I have no idea what you went through as a child. I would trade my upbringing (not my mom or sis) to be in a happy home and be black in a heartbeat. I now get to struggle with things that no one understands. All of my relationships are ruined by the happy then sad that I grew up with. One minute great, next minute dad is hanging himself in the barn. So seriously go eff yourself with all your anger and angst. If you wanna always pick the minority side and get pissed about it, go ahead. But don't then call people sexist or racist that disagree. It's bullshit. People from all backgrounds go through a lot of crap. It's no reason to prey on people on message boards. Grow up. If your life was rough, I'm sorry. I understand. You have three degrees. I'm happy for you. Be happy for yourself. Look in the mirror and smile once and a while. Stop being so angry here. Admit defeat once in a while. No one is going to think less of you.
