A day in my moccasins is harder then you can imagine. Today some white boys in ages 19-23 said "Natives have it easy so they should stop whining". Most natives don't whine.... And why do we have it so "easy"? They think we do because we don't pay tax. I've heard it more then once from a white person, but if you ask me i think white people have it easier. They don't go thru racism as much as natives, they barely go thru any really. But just because we don't have to pay AS MUCH money as we "should" doesn't mean we have an easier life. The other day i was stopped by two gang members. we fought because they insulted my family. to most natives family is all we have. so of course they're gonna hit me where it hurts emotionally. I was gonna do something about it, which i think i should have. but my friend told his girlfriend what was happening. he told her all of this stuff that could happen and shit because she doesnt have experience with it. shes white. but then before i called my cuz so him and my other cuz could come over to help me get my revenge, this girl i like came and talked to me. shes really amazing, she is also white. most people think it could be hard dating/going out with a white girl/guy would be hard, and it is sometimes. but you should never be ashamed because of their colour skin. my cuz and his girlfriend have been going out for a while, almost 3 years i think. thats pretty amazing, a white girl and native boy, going thru racism together. i would love having someone there for me. i go thru racism, everyday. im not rich, im not the smartest, i know where the drugs and booze are. but if i really want to maybe she can help me be better..... shes really somethin ill tell you that much, but dont get me wrong i love the native girls, they're great am i right boys? This white girl is really special, shes cute and funny, shes got meat on her bones which i know most of you native boys like as well dont lie you know its true, id rather have something to grab then nothing to hold ;) ahah but she is amazing, it will be hard, but for a girl like her im willing to try anything. A day in my moccasins can be scary as hell. I dare a white person to come try it. I put up with abuse, drugs, gangs, revenge, alcohol, depression, anger, suicide, and the worst part is, it stays inside forever, im trapped. these problems that natives go thru never go away and cant ever disappear. you cant run, you cant hide, you can only put up with it until you cant no more. i have to protect myself and the people around me 24/7, i dont know who could crawl thru my window and put a knife to my throat or my families throats, i dont know everyone who really wants to get me dead, see me shot, see me bleed or see me cry. Anything can happen when you wear my moccasins.
