The Grass is Always Greener. (MUCH greener in this case)
Hey I will tell you about my experiences in Seattle. Imagine yourself as a dark skinned person of black descent and almost everywhere you go people of not dark skinned descent stare at you. Small children look at you like an animal in the zoo. As far as your time outside, you feel almost claustrophobic with the heavy gray clouds overhead and the constant rain poring down. Everything looks foreign and confined to you. You are very aware that you are on a very north out post of civilization and Canada’s around the corner. The gentle Pacific that you have been raised with all your life is gone and instead you have this cold angry body of water that people don’t swim in they just look at. Its so interesting that the people who always write articles like this are NOT from San Diego and are of a particular race or background and born and raised in a different state. I know you had your “experiences” but your perceptions are shaped by who you are and how you were raised. As a true San Diegan you don’t speak for me.— July 1, 2009 12:26 a.m.
