My Personal Experience in these United States as a Black Woman

As an African-American racism, discrimination and bigotry for me is a way of life. The sume total of my experience as an African-American College Educated, Christian US Army Veteran. Especially at my job. In the 8 years I’ve worked there I’ve been physically attacked by a white male employee (he got fired when he threatened to kill another white male staff person), propositioned and accused of being of either being a whore or a drug dealer by visitors to the museum and sometimes white male staff, propositioned by a white male supervisor who thank God retired a couple of years ago (he was protected), there was another while male guard who threatened to kill all the Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims at work (he finally was fired this year) and yesterday a white male supervisor who told another employee that all Blacks who wear their hair loced must be on drugs. I wore my hair loced for several years and at No time have I even been on or taken any illegal drugs nor am I a drug dealer. However because of my skin color I have already been judged, tried and convicted.

Since we will have a Republican President, Congress, Senate and Supreme Court there will be no where for People of Color or Non-Christians to turn to when we are attacked. Yes it is going to be a long 4 to 8 years because this nutcase might very well be re-elected.

God Save America from itself!!

A long journey of many small steps… Coming home from Trump

On November 12, 2016 By dancingpalmtreesIn Uncategorized3 Comments

I have my health care dramas which may get worse during the Drump season. My brother Stephen has Autism. What about us?

Hopeworks Community

We are facing a long journey of many small steps.

The victory of Donald Trump has left us trying to make sense of the senseless, hurt, feeling scared and angry….. trying to decide what to do or if it still makes any sense to do anything at all. Many feel fundamentally betrayed but pointing fingers offers little relief or clarity. I honestly don’t think even Donald Trump thought he would win and was more focused on the drama of how he would react to a loss than anything. Yet with all that he will soon be our president.

I, like many of you, did not think he could win. He seemed so manifestly unqualified…. too unstable, of questionable values and integrity, lacking knowledge, skills and expertise. He was not simply a bad candidate, but a dangerous candidate. A lot of people thought and still think he will destroy this country.

Gastro Drama and the Holidays

On November 12, 2016 By dancingpalmtreesIn Autism, BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music), Radio City Music Hall, Stephen, Stephen Vincent Palmer, The Hard Nut, Uncategorized

Well after this week’s USA nation-wide election drama it is time to focus back in my own personal health drama. My Gastro Doctor put me on a low-fiber diet. I do notice a difference. Certain vegetables, legumes and wheat do seem to set my stomach off in the wrong direction. I still have not picked up the solution and tummy meds from Walgreens mainly because when I went on Monday they did not have them.

By the time the medicine and solution came in I had to go to work. There is no way I’m getting off the subway train at Nostrand and Fulton just to pick up all this junk then try to get back on the train going home after standing 8 hours at work. The New York City Subway system is over 112 years old and getting worse in terms of running properly day by day. A 45 minute train ride can take up to 2 hours.

Usually once I’m on the train there is no getting off. Looks like I will be rescheduling these stupid G.I. tests for another time since I cannot take days off next week just to spend 1 day drinking nasty solution, have the procedure then report to work the next day. Impossible. Plus they actually expect you to have someone take you home after the procedure!! Huh! Come on! Most people my age work. I can’t get days off and neither can they nor do they live near me that should be responsible for me getting home safely.

Anyway I would not ask somebody to do that for me. I’ve gotten myself home from various hospital E.R.s at all hours of the day and night by myself in various states of medical distress with no help so when the time comes I can do it again. I’m used to this. Back in November 7, 2008 I had a minor stroke. Called my cousin thinking for sure that he would pick me up to take me home. I had lost vision in my left eye. Did he come for me at the hospital? Nope! He decided it would be more fun to take his then girlfriend out on the town! Go figure. That’s why I don’t rely on people and rarely ask for help. Real Life.

Also my finances are getting on an even keel. I’m starting to become more financially stable so I’m not going to risk that by missing days of work for some dumb tests. I like paying my rent and bills. I’m feeling more comfortable about my money situation. As long as I can do overtime all will be well.

Fun Stuff

The only exception I made in terms of train hopping was for my vitamin shot yesterday. That’s easy. It can be done after work. No problems. No issues. Simple. Easy Breezy. Love it.

Also looking forward to Celebrating Thanksgiving with Stephen and some of our New Jersey cousins. Looking into getting tickets for at least one perhaps two holiday shows. We don’t do Black Friday or as I like to call it Broke Friday!! LOL!! 🙂 😀
