Right Hands vs Left Hands: The Struggle

It's super annoying that this country "caters" to right handed people over left handed people. I use quotation marks because so many SYSTEMS are created considering people who are right handed and neglecting those of us who are left handed, maybe because there are more of them than there are of us or maybe because the creators of these systems are right handed themselves and negligent to the idea that everyone is not like them... Really??

Either way, does the fact that you're right handed and I'm left handed make you better than me?? Does the fact that you have the support of universal systems that consider you over me make my presence in the world insignificant?? Not by ANY means sir/ma'am. It just means that I and we (all people of color in America -- I mean all LEFT HANDED people in America) have to work twice as hard, against more odds, against oppressive systems and consciously AND ignorantly entitled right handers to live and thrive in the same quadrant as them. We may not have the same LUXURIES afforded to us that you do but guess what: WE MATTER. OUR LIVES MATTER. You may not care for us or our presence in the world but you may as well accept that we're NOT going ANYWHERE. You can continue to make and keep things difficult for us and it may force us to forsake our comfort just so we can survive but you need to know that we will NEVER become extinct. You may hate us, you may think less of us than we are but YOU WILL NOT GET RID OF US, Officer Not-So-Friendly. Your efforts are futile.

The sooner you embrace this, the more PRODUCTIVE we will be as a society. Don't embrace it and you will soon see the consequences of your actions. Not a personal threat: a systematic promise according to the spiritual system to which I subscribe. Judgement day is coming. Happy Monday All.
