I cant omit the fact that the combination of me being beautiful, black and intelligent has everything to do with the complications Ive been facing in America, and let me tell you.... believe it or not I am the last to play the race card it has just gotten to the point that I cant ignore it. I watch my non white peers do things I couldn't do, in-terms of breaking rules and lacking professionalism, and they go scott free. It's the double standards that makes me unhappy.. its knowing that I have worked extremely hard to estrange myself from the stereotypes.. yet I'm still grouped in. Its knowing that if I don't make drastic moves.. this dynamic can only become increasingly worse.. as racial tensions in America are visible and pronounced. One must be prepared to change themselves at times to change the world around them. these are some of the reasons... I need to change my environment. I also worry about what type environment this would be for my future children. I do not feel safe or comfortable raising them stateside.
