I am not my SKIN...

So today I was in a car accident, though it wasn't my fault, I was very shaken up & panicked hoping the other party was alright although I was clearly banged up.  I called 911 & was told to remove myself from the road and advise the other party to do the same...I do as 911 told me to do after getting off the road, only to be met with a man in the passenger seat rolling his window down & holding his hand up as to ward me away, telling me to get away from them and "We're just fine you B*tch, MF and N*gger" all in the same breath.

My father, rest his soul, actually won a lawsuit regarding the same type of accident, mostly by default because the other party was yelling the same expletives in court with no shame. Mind you, this was over 22 yrs ago. I remember like yesterday because the offensive word was also written all over his car while at the auto shop.  My question is to you & those who think like you: Why is my skin color so offensive to you? Am I not humankind like you? And why was my mind so concerned with your welfare, regardless of what you looked like? Why do I deserve so much hatred? And why (even though I watch the news too & know & witness at Times the differences in how different races are treated at times-I have an entire family heritage of stories to prove it-But you know that already, right?), did I not automatically go into a rage because YOU actually hurt me?

Why are our spirits & hearts so different towards eachother or just period for that matter? Whatever your reason(s) is/are, I pray for our God or whomever your higher power is, to cleanse your heart of such hate towards those who don't look like you or share your bloodline. I'm still glad And thanking My God that no one was extremely injured. But I want you to know, although you give me doubts daily with your actions, you will never break my spirit or cause me to harbor hate in my heart for you or others. You only help me grow in my knowledge & prepare me for my next possible negative interaction.  We were all created in the same image. Believe it or not, your blood, spirits, hearts and souls ate exactly like mine.  #FatherForgiveThemForTheyKnowNotWhatTheyDo.
