Hate, she repeats herself as her niece asks her what that word means. Continues, she speaks. As she unfolds the reality of racism, sexism, and the social norms that society has implanted on us. Making it fine that our nieces and daughters grows u in a society where they have to change their looks, the way they act around peers. Thinking this is crazy, but Ruby has made it known that this happens everyday, we all go through the pressure society has passed on to us. We are fixed, and only accepted in the social crowd only if we change our ways. Only if we change our culture, connecting this spoken word to colonial mentality with the taken culture our ancestors lived and dreaded. Stripped down from their native tongue, living another mans history, without making their name known. Education, as our ancestors and colored men and woman are taught the white mans history and all their glory. We are products of societies input without putting our dreams on the table. Hate in this time of day, has shocked but assured the white supremacy that will forever be relevant. The cycle of the hierarchy will make hate being constant, fine and normal.
