I was asked "How and what inspired me to begin writing and telling my life experiences concerning Racism and living in The Hudson Valley. I know today that my inner being and soul sought for away to share many stories of my personal experiences. Through the years many things have happened since I have located to this area. I ask myself "is it only you , why do these things happen why have a run into this collective behavior people practice. There is a reason Racism is collective and systematic , its a practiced way of thinking and behaving. Racism is the norm, yes their is Racism everywhere, when racism affects your life, life becomes mundane and people cruel. life has its ups and downs ,but when Racism is a added factor people are injured. How are they injured? one may ask. The individual experiences from being denied the right and ability to build wealth (as ever other person) to being denied equal rights as a homeowner. Why am I being fined for my attic being finished , when the other sixty homes on the block are not being fined and their attics are also finished. Their are six minority families in the neighborhood. Why am I denied a vendors license to sell goods and merchandise? People of the other races, color and ethnicity are allowed to sell their merchandise. Everything is made in china , why does what i sell have to be from America? These two instances can be the rise or fall (internally) of a person's reality of being equal . They say where all equal and have the same rights as Citizens of The United States, but the reality and truth is that we all are not treated the same. We are the same, but in many peoples sick , desolate minds we are not the same. True Story.
