"You must really hate me." I mumbled as I sat in the backseat of our car. I was stuck in between multiple bags full of clothes and shit.
"Now honey why would you say that?" My dad asked as he kept his eyes on the road. My mom looked up from her phone.
"I don't know... maybe because you're moving me from everything I love .."
"your not old enough to love anything.. this is a great move for you an it will ONLY benefit you in the future." My mom preached.
"Yea because taking me away from everything is a great idea... all my friends...." and my girlfriend. I said in my head. I came out two months ago and now all of a sudden we're moving to a new town and abandoning everything we had. I knew it was a mistake the moment they told me she couldn't come over anymore. Apparently they had to make sure to crush, kill, and burn any chance of us working.
"And you'll make new friends and have new opportunities, this is an amazing area."
"You mean a predominately white area" I rolled my eyes.
My mom turned in the front seat looking back at me. "And What is that suppose to mean? I'm white."
"Yea mom clearly..."
"I understand that you're upset but you are young. You don't know everything we know. You need to fix that attitude because we are doing all of this for YOU. Brentwood has one of the lowest crime rates in the United States. It had the best schools, the list goes on."
"Yea and black people are 3% of the population." I cut in. I squinted my eyes. Is she really going to act like I don't have access to google too? I know what this place is.
"I don't have any control over that. Black ppl are one of the smallest populations anyway."
"Compared to 86% mom. That's almost 90% white."
"And what's wrong with that. Don't forget that you are not fully black."
"How could I?" I asked running my fingers through my heat fried hair. "You try to remind me that you hate that side of me every 20 seconds"
"Hey! Now that's enough" my dad called out trying to cut tension.
"You watch the way you talk to me! You think you're grown and that's the problem now! I have absolutely no problem with black people! I married your dad! I just don't want you walking around ghetto fabulous, in the streets, with three baby daddies and-"
"Wow, is that how all black people act? Please continue to enlighten me on how you're not racist." I crossed my arm.
She reached back and smacked me.
" I am not racist. You don't ever use that word against me. It's over used and losing meaning anyway. Anytime a black person doesn't get things handed to them it's racist this, racist that but they aren't even willing to WORK for what they have."
"You're husbands is a BLACK engineer who could afford to up and move as soon as you found out I was gay!"
"Here we go with this again! You're not gay Samayah!"
At that moment I shut down. I didn't have shit else to say to her.
I texted my girlfriend Alexus.
Mayah: I swear I'm bout to tuck and roll out of this car.
Lexus: it can't be that bad baby
Mayah: oh really? So far my mom has reminded me that all black people are worthless thugs, I'm not fully black, and there's no way in hell that I'm gay 🙄
