I'm not sure exactly how we ended up on the subject, considering it was first about my brother, not me. But basically, my mother said that if we would have stayed in Bethlehem or Allentown, I would be "different" from how I am now. That may be true to an extent, but I can only think of one reason why, and it's not living in the woods. But anyway, she said that I would be more "outcasted", and everyone would see me as a black girl that acts white. Still, I challenge her and anyone else, to find a white girl that acts like me? NO ONE acts like me. It's not a matter of race. If anything, I act old. But even putting THAT aside, she's basically saying that I wouldn't be able to find people that appreciated my bizarre personality, like I do now. That's utterly rediculous and the lamest reason ever. Just because I'm in a different town doesn't mean I can't find friends. This is America, there are so many different kinds of people out there, she's saying that if we weren't up here in booneyville, I woudn't be able to find decent black people to hang out with. How self-prejudiced is that? My choice of friends is based on intelligence. If you can hold an adult conversation, I'm likely to gravitate to you, no matter what race you are. If you're black and can do that, I gravitate to you even more, because that's just the way things are, all of us already have a special connection before even knowing eachother, don't deny it. To say that people that fit this criteria are only found HERE is absurd. I can find people anywhere in this damn country, and others too!
The only reason I'd be different is because I wouldn't have met Javin, and he's had more impact on me then anyone else.
