I just want to be left alone. I have "African American Fatigue." I'm tired of it. I'm tired of being blamed for things I have no part of. I'm tired of paying for the idiocy of others. I'm tired of constantly being on alert everywhere I go. I'm tired of crossing the street to avoid being hit up for a handout. I'm tired of teaching my son that all men are equal in the eyes of God... and at the same time telling him to be sure to avoid certain parts of town.
I no longer care. I don't care if all the criminals in Ferguson, or New York, or Baltimore stand in the middle of the street at high noon and blow each others brains out. I don't care if they burn to the ground every business foolish enough to try to help them by establishing a storefront.
What I want is to be left alone. And I am convinced that liberals don't want to let me get away with that. They DEMAND that I care. That's why new housing developments have Section 8 requirements. Oh, no, Whitey. You don't get to just pull up roots and move away from the problem. We're going to make you take a piece of the problem with you. The people who live in this subdivision probably thought they were moving to a safe neighborhood where they could be left alone. I don't blame them one bit for being furious about this situation.
If I'm "racist" so be it. I can see and think and what I see and think is change must come.
