I was born to love By Afrodite aka Rose I am the product of two races loved and embraced by one and rejected and ignored by the other. I am Mexicana( Mexican) I am also black born to a Mexican woman and a black man I was born to love not hate. My abuela loved me without looking at the color of my skin all she new was that her daughter was my mother she loved me for who I was within. My big mama my black grandmother saw me how I was within, although we shared the same skin color she always looked past that and hated me for that part of me she could not see. I always thought why doesn’t she love me is it just me or did she just treat me like I was beneath her. It was not my choosing to which parents I would be born. I saw it as lucky being from two different worlds. It didn’t matter that I could tell my big mama I love you in two different languages what mattered to her is who my mother was and that is where her hatred for me was born. She didn’t care that I was her granddaughter what mattered to her was who was my mother. So much hatred and contempt for something that was not of my doing. So much hatred and indifference not for who I am and what I was to her. It was for not having the power to make me into who she wanted me to be hateful , racist, bitter and cold against her own blood and all because I was born in Mexico. It was not my fault I didn’t choose who my parents were. Unlike my big mama I was blinded to the haters of my race in the world. She missed out on my love, on My kisses and my embrace and all because I was the product of two races it was not my fault. I was born to love not hate. Rose@---,--- ©10/21/14
