Hi all, this is my first time writing on this great page and wish it was for something nice, but, its not! I have had a pretty confronting week and just want to share the last experience I faced last night. I was out at dinner with my neighbours & 1 of them brought her mum. At the end of the night the drunk mother starts asking about my job. I work in an Aboriginal sector. She then says to me, do you really think you could call yourself that, do you think you could live in the bush and survive? And then rambled on about her not wanting me to pull the Aboriginal card (what ever that may be) telling me I dont look Aboriginal and I shouldnt tell people unless it needs to be said with something intelligent! What?? She asked about my family & where they live how many brothers and Sistas I have. (I have a big family from divorced parents!) and that is more Aboriginal in her eyes!! But then said my kids and husband are great so I can drop my culture and move on. By this time I wanted to punch her and hard. But I answered her with, you asked me about my job and I told you & I dont use no Aboriginal card because I know better and some people react like you! So of course I offended her with that, & she couldnt believe I would say that to her lol!! But I am exhausted by arseholes after my shitty week I just want to hide. As they say that that make you stronger aye?? I know our history and culture, I am sick of not being black enough in the eyes of others who dont even matter! Rant over, thanks for reading have a great day and Xmas, I am ready to move on to a better 2015!
