I was with my husband at the supermarket (in Shitladephia) and I noticed a guy staring at us, but I brushed off, we walk to another ally and I ask my husband to go and get me something from another ally. The dude that was staring approached me (I instinctively put my hands inside my jacket; pepper spray) and asked me why was I with a "White man"? And he starts telling me why "Black women" shouldn't date outside their race, because racism and white supremacy. I replied at him; I'm not Black and my husband is not White, WE are Hispanics/Latinos and we are both Mulattoes/mix. And even if I want to date a White/Caucasian man that's none of his business.
He looked at me offended and tried to engage in argument (I was so anxious, I was going to pepper spray his ass) when my husband came back and asked me in Spanish what was going on and I replied in Spanish as well. My husband started heating up and asked the guy to BTFO and the dude was like: my bad, I apologize. 😑😒 This people are overdoing it.
That sounds about right. I also migrated here 6 years ago. At first (when didn't know the language well) I was not feeling Trump, but after my boyfriend (now husband) started to show me what policies Trump was running on, I was like Heck, Yeah!. My family ran from a messed up country full of refugees (thanks to UN) that could not adapt to our culture and were against Dominicans, because "We stole their land" (they lost the Haitian/Dominican war).
I don't feel like this is over, yet.
