They keep telling me that racism is over. \"Its okay if you're black.\" My color of skin is no longer an issue. My \"race\" is acceptable now. I can finally be proud of my ancestry. Thats what they keep telling me. They also told me that my sex is irrelevant to my capacities. \"A woman can do the same job as a man.\" Not being blessed with a penis will NOT reduce my abilities to survive. Thats what they keep telling me. Thats what they would like me to believe. So i'll shut up and stop protesting the hypocrisy that make up my society. My color is not a problem so its just a coincidence that the white lady in the administration office looked me up and down before i could asked her my question. Its also a huge coincidence that young women my age are only taken seriously if they have the not-so-secret code of 36-24-36. But i should simply believe the B.S. fed to me through a straw since my birth. It should make life easier, no?

Northern America

That's what they keep telling me
