Amazingly Sen #CoryBooker is still awake & will be interviewed on The #RachelMaddow Show which starts at 9PM ET.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our #history! I don't a #whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched #truth about #America, because that speaks to our greatness" - Sen Cory Booker

You demonize us, in news media.
You glorify us, in your fakeass movies and TV shows.
You pretend to celebrate us, on historical womens' or people of colour days of public civil recognition - while you disrespect us, for calling out your acts of racism.
How dare you say that you support #AntiRacism movement,
As you smile at us with dishonesty.
As you keep on perpetuating perverted overt and covert racism.
You smell different than folks with humanity.
You smell like death and indecency.

I remember me & others #FOBS - Fresh off the boat refugees, were treated with disdain by #Asian folks born here & it confused me a lot, as a little kid. I didn't understand why people who looked like me & my family, seemed to hate & not want to be anywhere around us refugee kids. It took me years to learn that they were so #whitewashed #indoctrinated, they became just as cruel to us as the white racist kids were. I felt sorry for them. I thought - how awful their lives must be, hating their own cultures & ethnicness. I got angry at their actions. I always felt more sorry for those #POC #brainwashed kids, than anger.
