PURELY BLACK.

CHAPTER ONE.

A little from the past.

Hi, let me start with a question. How do two black girls live in a very white community? Trying to wrap your heads around it huh, well I don't have to because it is actually my life. My name is Dana Sey, the first and only black child of my lesbian parents. I have five siblings who never seize to annoy me. By my side is my right hand girl called China McClordy. For China, her mother left the black community to look for a job elsewhere when she heard my parents were leaving. She also wanted to forget about her husband and son's memory so bad she didn't think of the consequences of being where she is now, knowing her food and fair was being catered for. By my parents.

China currently has twin brothers behind her.

Sadly, barely three years ago, China's dad and first brother Yorm were both shot dead in his moving vehicle on their way home by police men. Although the case was picked up, no lawyer stood behind China's mother no matter the amount if money my moms offered. My moms weren't rich but they loved taking care of China and her lovely family and they still do.

Back to my story, according to the lawyers, they had not doubt Aunt Hetty was going to lose the case knowing the police men had pleaded not guilty. Do you know what even terrifies me the most? These men were blacks. They had no reason for shooting Uncle Fred and Yorm but they did as usual. These police men go around killing and inflicting pain on people they are supposed to save and after, say they were defending themselves. Fuck defending themselves, what happened to world peace?

Aunt Hetty till now has pictures of the three suspected police men and swears to take her revenge no matter how long it takes. She honestly has no idea how she would, but she knows she would.

Growing up, I knew police brutality and abuse of power was real but to the extent where you kill your fellow black or fellow white is just wrong. What am I saying, IT IS WRONG TO KILL YOUR FELLOW HUMAN BEING. PERRIOODDTTT!!! (No matter the societal stand you have).

Although it's wrong, I figured racist white men always did the killing but in our community, that wasn't the case. We stupidly kill each other not caring about the consequences it could cause their family members. The community I used to live in is an all black community, thankfully I never experienced racism like the other black kids in white countries or mixed race countries. Well we always said all black, because we could count the whites in our mist, not very much, but there were whites. Like my moms who adopted me when I was five. They had already adopted Russel, my immediate little brother who at that time was just a year old. Till now, they haven't told me the reason why they decided to adopt a black girl even though they had a kid, and even if they didn't, why adopt a black kid when you are white lesbian partners? Baffles my mind each day, but I know they would tell me some day. As time went on they adopted four more.

However, in our little community, sudden death, rape, women abuse at homes and rough armed robbery were our top problems. For crossing the red light, a police man can take his time to track you down and when he does, either tases you till you die or actually fucking shoot you to death. The truth is, death was and still is the result to all mistakes. Why? Why does it have to be the result for all honest mistakes? Where are peoples conscience?

A random man man can see any young boy or girl and rape you till all your bones feel weak, if you are lucky he leaves you to suffer, if not he strangles, stabs or shoots you on the spot.

Each day as kids, China and I would coil ourselves in our rooms hoping not to hear the gunshots, it got to a time, we embraced the world we lived in and rolled along with it. We taught ourselves and our siblings how to fight by using our allowance to pay for karate classes and always remembered to carry pepper spray and pocket knifes.

You noticed I mentioned only China and I coiling right? China's brothers were homeschooled whilst my siblings really had nothing to worry about if only they stayed out of trouble. Aunt Hetty knew nothing about our course hence couldn't homeschool China. For some reason, all my siblings were likable which was sometimes very annoying. I remember i used to bully them when they came home all because I thought it wasn't fair they weren't ever bullied.

China and I were the ones who had to walk to school and back each day of our lives, we had to be thugs all of the sudden to spare our innocent lives. Why is there so much wickedness and hate in this world? Why do black kids for some reason have to fight for their lives even though they did absolutely nothing wrong? Why do police men have ti keel on our kneels and kill us even after we have pleaded for so long? I ask God each night on mu knees.

Such a cruel world we live in, God!

I for one believe in God. I go down on mu knees and pray each day. Oh and I mean yes the capital G...God! My moms never missed church till they got busy, even that, they never put a stop to our morning devotions. Ironic huh, how people we all see as huge sinners are the once actually chasing after God and impacting his words into the life's of their children. Trust me God is not a fool, he has a reason for everything.

China on the other hand was done worshiping God after she lived a life a sorrow without her loving father and brother. Although till now, Aunty Hetty still has a faith and goes down each night to pray for her life and that of her children. I call that strength, pure strength from above.
