A/n: In this story Riley is African American & I feel like this poem portrayed how I see her spirit beautifully. It'll make sense later on in the story. Just pretend the guy is a girl lol

*UNEDITED*
New video from Linoy:
"The first day I realized I was black. It was 2000... All the kids chased me in the woods chanting slave. My mother said I refused to come out for three hours..."
"As a woman having a boyfriend is a battle. If 70% of us are abused in a lifetime what is a number of men doing here the answer is not one man running faster than light..."
"...My body has become calls to write legislation calls for ass smacks in the back of class... Someone asked what made me feel unsafe and I struggled not to yell everything."
"...Little lady is not said to me in equal but to make sure I learn my place..."
"...The last day I realized I was black was in an elevator in California, to the white woman who said she knows what it's like to be black because she grew up poor. I would tell you to think before you speak but your mind has got to be bacteria infected..."
"...But to tell me you know my pain is like to stab yourself in the leg because you saw me get shot. We have two different wounds and looking at yours does nothing to heal mine..."

Linoy: I don't know... It's just such a personal piece.
You: that's what makes it better
You: risks Linoy, it's all we got
