They complain about that to your face?

If so, dang that's mean.


You'd be surprised. I'm baffled that I've never been jailed for disturbing the peace. I am the definition of mellow. People say the weirdest s**t to me on a day to day basis.


To answer your question though, they do not say it to my face. I am a 5'10", 180lb black woman. They tend to snicker and say it where I can hear them. Sometimes they bump into afterwards when leaving. People challenge my need for disability to my face more so than my race. A good example is when I was in Christian Day Care and the little popular blond girls waited until I was asleep to shove rubber bands up my nose. I had to go to the ER. Racism, and homophobia were very prominent in said day care. I had two events of public shaming due to my race there, one for being a tomboy.

One of the most beautiful women I've ever seen was black, had a shaved head, and was taller than I.

All she had to do was keep fit, be kind and smile when she said hello.

Fact is if I was living in the city she did I would have wanted to get to know her better.
