oliraptor:“Toxic” London 2018…A reminder… A lot of people don’t know my story and try to guess based on what is in front of them. I use hook up apps to find people to photograph. This blank profile obviously doesn’t like me, maybe I ignored them in the past…maybe it’s a troll. These words hurt of course. I do have a strong backbone. I’m posting this to remind you and show you something that probably doesnt happen to you. Now some asked if it’s happened before. Yes it comes from all parts of our community and elsewhere. I try my best to treat people with respect. I’ve been dealing with this since I was born. My interracial parents had to deal with it. My grandmother had to when she raised three children, and the racist backlash from her family…people don’t like the other. I’m proud of where I come from, a poor fishing family in the Carribbean and dockworkers of east London. A line of travelers, thinking outside of the box and being with someone different even with the world against it. Think about those who broke the mold and are doing so today. Try better to do the same. This world isnt perfect but we are greater mixed together than spread apart and divided. Just Respect, Live your best life and Love. -Oliver -- source link
