Election 2020

Everyone has just heard the news. Joe Biden is going to be our new president. I'm not as happy as I thought I would be. Most of my anxieties are gone. However, there is still so much hate and bigotry that resides in this country. I feel safer, but I still don't feel like a true American. A though I was born here and have lived here all my life I still feel like an outsider. Doesn't matter if Biden or Trump won. I will still have to be a PoC living in this country. I'm not ready to make nice with those who have hurt me because it's been longer than the past four years. It has been my whole life. I am surrounded by whiteness and I am constantly put in "my place" because of it. For those close to me, the only time I am "seen" as a PoC is when it benefits them. When being a PoC harms me, it's brushed off; I'm the one being "too sensitive."
