So far I have been mostly silent on the racial divide in America. I can do this because I am not racist. I have friends of all races and many nationalities. I have written a few posts but I have largely refrained.

Today as I was checking the news I saw an article which pretty much undid me. Apparently a Black professor at Boston University has a problem with racism. Please click on this link. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/05/18/boston-university-prof-in-racist-tweet-controversy-accused-ridiculing-white/

Not only does she have a problem with prejudice against young white college men but she totally tore apart a white woman who had been raped as a child. I have two sons who are white and they are both in college. They are amazing young men and have a lot more class than Ms Grundy. They would never think of making a total fool of themselves on social media like she has.

Yet it was not her insult to white college males which got me all fired up, it was her attack on that young lady who had been molested.

This brings my Mama bear out in full force. How dare she have the audacity to attack a woman who has been molested? She is no better than a punk in a gang who has to pull out an oozy to pretend that they are tough.

I do have sympathy for people of color who think they have been discriminated against, but my God, you are not the only people on the face of the earth who have experienced that evil. I have experienced it as a child when I had to use a wheel chair. I have been bullied, I have had money stolen from me by lawyers who were beyond useless because I was a single mother with a small bit of money saved up. I have been cheated on and betrayed. I have been verbally, physically and emotionally abused.

For the record I am NOT crying and I am definitely not a victim. What I am, is strong and resilient, and when someone treats a young woman with disrespect, who has suffered molestation, I want to go all crazy on them. Because, you see, I have learned the lesson that discrimination has the ability to teach. That is to treat others, less fortunate, with respect because I know what it is like to be disrespected.

The woman who was molested has been through hell. I know, I used to counsel women in mental hospitals who had been molested as children. They stole a piece of my heart. I had never loved a population in mental health as much as loved them. They made an incredible impact on me.

Children who have been molested will never get their innocence back. Those who are discriminated against have a choice as to how they respond. They can use it as a surge of power to become better and stronger than the idiots who were prejudiced. It can become a powerful force which propels you to prove those who were ignorant and prejudiced, that they were wrong about you.

What it shouldn’t be, is a self serving narcissistic void where you think that because you are a black female you can attack another female who happens to be white, for whatever reason.

Prejudice is a street that goes both ways. There is no better example of this then the tirade that Ms. Grundy went on. For the record I do believe that Ms. Chamberlain has responded with class and intelligence. Ms Grundy, not so much. Unfortunately that just perpetuates the prejudice which Ms. Grundy is trying so hard to fight. What a shame, because I know so many black people who are a total class act.
