Scared and Afraid For My Future Son
I truly fear what the future holds for my future son. I'm pregnant and I'm not sure what I'm having, but I feel so much fear to bring a son into this world. There is no safe zone to protect my child(ren). They can come into my home and murder my loved ones and they would not get punished unless the victims have white skin. I am Filipino and Nicaraguan , my fiancé is black. I love people of all color but it's just not fair, how they treat us. I have been racially profiled for being "black" because my skin is brown on multiple occasions with the police. I was doing nothing but minding my own buisness but because I'm "black" I get treated a certain way. I truly fear I will lose someone I love because of the color of their skin. To know I can't do anything to protect my kids scares me, we live in a world where as soon as my child is born there will be a target placed on their backs because of the color of their skin. I pray for the victims family. I pray for my family and for your families too. Please be safe out there.
