You know, eversince I was a kid I wanted to be a star. I used to spend hours in front of the mirror trying to make sure I looked right, I practiced for ours singing in case someone invited me to sing, I would try to work out and keep myself in shape so I looked good for a movie role. And after all of my efforts, nothing. No movie parts, no singing parts, no offers of any sort. I tried writing books to try an get a door opened for myself; nothing. I finally came to the conclusion, in this country, if you're black they do everything they can to keep the doors of opportunity slammed shut for you . Oh yeah, some break through after a herculean effort, but being born in this country we shouldn't have to go through that. Were I white, after all of my efforts, I might not still be a star but I would be making some money somewhere. somebody would have given me a chance. And not just black either; Asian, hispanic, or anybody non-european Bruce Lee had to leave America and go back to China to achieve his international star status. And he was so good it took only five films to cement his megastar status. But while he was here in America the only part he could get was playing a white man's houseboy in the Green Hornet. Just like this country's president trump referred to people not just Africans but people from non-european nations as shit countries. Of course this racial profiling was done because they don't want people talking about how the republicans undermined the Affordable Healthcare Act with their tax bill, still there is too much racism in this country. they'd rather hear about how 'their' president is keeping more 'niggers' from coming to America than how they're not going to be able to pay their medical bills anymore thanks to the republicans. But I'm not that concerned about that myself coz' hell my life is already shit. Got fired from Amazon not to long ago after being harassed and harangued in the most racist manner I've ever experienced even for this country. I have not accomplished anything I wanted and so my life is a constant bore. Basically right now I'm just living to die. No I'm not suicidal, not by longshot I'm jobless and broke and sick but no not suicidal.. But there's nothing to look forward to. I don't get to rub elbows with my favorite celebs; I don't get to travel to new destinations, sample exotic delights, meet new girls interested in getting to know me, hell not even new men if i was in to that, nothing.wed sho At this juncture if a guy showed genuine interest hell I would give them a try. But I wake up, eat, worry about how I will pay my bills, watch some tv, and go to bed. Yes it could be worse, but it SHOULD be better MUCH BETTER here in the so-called greatest country in the world! Great for white people, the rest of us we'll have to get back with you on that. When I was a kid they taught us in school to sing America the beautiful. Ain't seen that America yet. Now America the Ugly, I've seen that for the past 50 or so years. That song I can sing by heart. Can't remember any of the words to America the beautiful. It's a lie anyway. America the Ugly sounds more true to form. Bought a lottery ticket; sitting here convincing myself not to get my hopes up too high. I never win, and not just at the damned lottery. Maybe one day I will win at something, even here in America.
