MOVING TO CHINA TO EMPTY OUT YOUR CUP

I AM MOVING TO CHINA again. 

Furthermore, I am bored with America. I really feel like a slave here. Something about going to a job I tolerate, to pay rent in an apartment I don't even like makes me feel like a prisoner. I am moving to China in the same vein that immigrants originally came to America for, to find a better opportunity. America was never a black woman's country. Statistically, educated black women have always had a hard time over uneducated white men in this country at finding a job. This article is not about racism, so I won't elaborate. I will mockingly point out that Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

When I first heard this news I was in China and thought it was a joke. When he talked about building a wall, this resonated with people so deeply, because the landscape of America is an immigrant nation. For many years white men had the power, but now it's changing over to the OTHER demographic.  In ways, this can mean that American citizens really are losing jobs to Mexicans and smarter and better-dressed Asians, but don't worry you likely won't lose jobs to black men, mostly because they are incarcerated at 50% rate in America and good luck getting a job with a felony charge. 

I like China because I don't have to be enslaved to a countries history.My countries history is as fucked up as any countries. I am too aware of my countries history to not have a bias against my own people. I honestly need a fresh start and mind. Bruce Lee said, empty out your cup.  It's not my place to think about politics outside of America, at least not at this time. In fact, I have to sign a contract that says I will keep my mouth shut about the Chinese government. 

In America, people commonly tell me I remind them of Angelia Davis, which is a compliment except I won't be a freedom fighter or an activist for any movement in America and I have actually had several acquaintances become hostile with me when I refused to become a poster girl for this or that. I just never thought to shout in the streets with signs was for me. I have talked directly to Congress about Immigrant rights before though, and that approach is for me. 

Sometimes I will want to have a five-star meal and go out on the town and see some beautiful sights, but mostly I want my alone time and peace, so I don't want to get caught up in the racial tensions in America at this time or politics. There are better ways I can use my time, plus I am already educated on the matter of America when there are hundreds of countries I know nothing about. I am bored because of my ignorance. It is time to know what is out there in the world. I have only been to 5 countries in my life, which leaves 191 more to go. There are other world problems to become educated about like China's pollution problem. Is there a difference between an environmentalist and a freedom fighter
