girl from oromo part 2

well sorry my fellow university student for offending you

I just feel that the rules have changed hence you can't keep fighting

with the same rules of speech and humanity towards each other,

its a very good speech but it doesn't pay the mortagage,

you should look at levelling the playing ground .



racism in Canada is well hidden these days

nobody will come out and accept it exists

unless you have something that they can relate with: economics.



this girl from oromo began to heap up insults on me

because of my "properness"

"this conversation isn't going anywhere,"

i say to myself, because his girl is trying to attack my self confidence

to make me feel bad for being who I am,

about the way I was brought up,

about going to good schools and learning proper manners,

about being eloquent.

I look at the book's she's reading for homework

and wonder to myself,

"whats the point?"



The problem with her approach is,

I have an excess of confidence

so whatever she is saying doesn't really faze me,

I have been where she is before,

I had my ghetto phase so I don't feel the need to impress her

by becoming something I already figured I wasn't,

we are 2 of the same fighting the same battle from different flanks,

different aspects

lets respect our opinions and ideas,

we don't need to tear ourselves apart then there is no progress made

lets unite, respect each other and continue fighting,

girl from oromo, thats not the way to fight the fight.
