WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2020

Quiet here not hearing blow horns or any honking looks like sleep tonight!!
Last night very few were out due to rain one lady Russian name white woman not college kid at all was arrested breaking into the mall damaging stuff 33yrs old (old enough to know better!). Today cute kids peaceful protest they let them stand on the steps away from traffic or adult protestors to say their peace.
How to change stuff? It has to start with lots of stuff from how we’re potrayed in tv y movies to schools having books without missing pages (I have been in the rich white school only 3 Mexican girls y my mixed race self to mixed race schools to poor Blk community school). If a school has extra money instead of buying things that are silly like giant pillows in a huge library full of art structures costing as much as a house! Maybe trickle it down to those schools in need! Not hold me or others of color up to as a school laugh at me being mixed race in front of a Native American tribe who asked them to leave drove me home (They knew my grandpa y other relatives same tribe). Upgrade the books in the rich school pack up the old ones drive them over to the schools in need of them! I went to a school in Baytown Texas Blk community We did not have a book for everyone so we shared the smartest kids attempting to finish their work let the other kid take the book home to finish theirs. 1 book to every 2-3kids!! They were missing pages!! Turn to page 40... Mrs King umm I don’t have that page for me y Williams. Anyone else missing that page??? Hands raise up. Do you have 39? No 38? Yes .Okay we’re doing page 38 instead . Thankyou Mrs King who wrote me into adult hood last letter I was in my 30’s. We had no chalk for our board but we had love ❤️. Teachers with big hearts who reused the same poster board for years sat on broken desk chairs. When they got chalk they all shared it. Best schools I was at were schools where All incomes y races were combined. Those teachers like Mrs King still wave to me in the street stop to talk. Computers had to be pay to use some free with old text books but they saved up got newer ones sent the older books to another private school with a small income in a even smaller town population litterely a few families. They spent too much on sports tho didn’t like that but loved the fact teachers pulled together y the citizens too kids with low incomes to high incomes had similar chances but still was the problem with magically richest kids won scholarships to got in programs first even if they put in zero effort. Good news is even with the occasional hiccup poor come homes some are now nurses others lawyers. The kid from the worst district had a leg up a chance. The rich kid who refuses to learn we’ll bags groceries now was a equal playing field so no effort in no prize at the end. Extra effort in a chance after graduation of the best in life. Saw kids poor with learning difficulties come out some are grocery store workers but some even if the income was low came out as businessmen! The mixed income school was the best one.

Changes need to start with the towns ,community,schools,police who were there for the school that had success with programs for the kids free or small fee like JR police academy to door always open to a office in campus a friendly face to confide in (one girl confided scared pregnant thinking of ended her life his door was open with military metals to African American awards on the wall with brochures in front of them to the college for minorities of all minority races a bowl full of candies 🍭 a list of how to life up your society to generation posted he held her hand called her parents talked let them know with her the situation helped sign them up for programs to help her keep her child y guide her parents to a greater good she graduated in JROTC went to a military school (can’t join as a single mom but got a scholarship free ride) last I heard she is in school to be a teacher the schools holding a position for her open. In another city she would have had to drop out or end up with a store job low income with only low income schools as a choice for her kids which would make a brighter future grim for them as well.

How to make changes at work? Easy starts with the employers attitude towards hiring. Instead of seeing race see them. No more token employees to fill a quota. Equal chances for employment the minute they walk in. Don’t offer only cleaning job to us of mixed races to darker skin that has happened every single job. I have had to take the cleaning job work my way up to cashier see others who come in full blooded race they prefer get the jobs I applied for with no effort. I fought for a chance to prove myself for years to get what they did in a day. That’s not right. Hubby same issue come in I want to be a waiter! Looks at his color do you speak Spanish? Yes sir. You work in the kitchen your now the dish washer. Out of sight out of mind back then in those generations long ago. He had to fight to own his own company get jobs even now to be heard. How hard is it to listen? He applied for a bank loan the lady started talking about how when they build the wall my husband won’t need a loan . He had to tell her I was born in the USA to American Citizens Mam are you asking me to be on the other side of your wall? Her answer well you won’t need a loan when it’s built. He did not get the loan we do not bank there.

My husband hires all colors he only asks that they work hard equally. If more employers were like him less issues would be had.

Folks like the customer who called because hubby is dark it scared her need to stop. It wasn’t the cops fault she over reacted. That was on her. The cops could have not warned him to never return to the area or pull guns on him the correct response should have been okay knock on window sir you lost? Then after they proved he was there for a job estimate for the client someone thought that they were called but called the wrong client told my hubby they were expecting him at this Adress y time an obvious miscommunication accident .... tell the lady okay Mam it was a misunderstanding the company you contacted thought they had a service time but was talking to the wrong home owner thinking it was you. The mans here do you want an estimate done at this time? Yes do it/No okay call reschedule with them at a later date sir she does not want service at this time here’s your license no harm no foul have a nice day keep up the good work. Hubby drives off no guns,no hysterical omg dark man I’m scared 😱 over reactions,y threats to never return. I would love to think the pizza men don’t get treated like that for that perticular area...but probably do.

Court process for crimes need to be equal. If your rich y kill or poor kill same outcome. If 2 different colored people commit a felony together the one with the color or status money wise preferred by that judge to prosecution should not get a lesser sentence than the one who was with them. The non preferred person shouldn’t take the fall while the one who may have been the mastermind goes free with a slap on the wrist. Justice is Blind is more like she’s peaking from under that bandage 🩹.

Good things we have done is Barbies are different shapes sizes y colors. Barbie can be any color still be a Doctor! Military (Navy) now includes hair styles for non-white hair which is great because no one should have to shave all the hair off or use harsh hair breaking straighteners like Daughter used to just to pass inspection because God made them different.Doctors at the ER come in all colors now. Teachers at schools no longer are their race at their same race schools they teach anywhere! We have more slowly happening but seeing it more y more folks of other races getting a chance for a good guy role in some Hollywood productions but it’s not all of them yet. Stereotypes still are portrayed that needs to end. Best movies I see are uplifting let a Mexican man playing the bad guy not be a automatic gang member with tattoos yelling Sterotypical phrases their show has what they think the bad guy should be original better action! The hero can be any color also isn’t stereotypical. Those movies make all of us laugh as a group enjoy it . Great example the newest silly wonka! They allowed the guy who played All the Omapa loompas to do it as he thought they would be we all lived it! He was a hero for kids just like him. Another great example the newest just came out Fantasy Island!! Will Smith movies I love them ALL he is free to play as he sees fit like Robin Williams who broke the molds also. The best movies are more accurate to who we really are people like us. That’s something our kids can see say wow I can be Will Smith. I can be M M Faruqui (represents dwarfism y Bollywood with class). Jyoti Amge she’s only 2ft tall has played n American Horror Story wow was she great! So many out there American horror story wow got Down syndrome be the leading lady!! That’s what we need more of.
