At first I was going to go with ‘I don’t feel safe here’ but that is bullshit. Tea Party people don’t feel safe; when they can openly show they have guns on their person, have drawings of the president lynched and speak openly and forcefully about their ‘belief system’. No harm has ever, ever, come to them. But they don’t feel safe. Prezident’ gonna take der guns, and what not. But overall, in comparison to POC they are safe. They are super safe.We are not safe. Safe is not a ‘feeling’ POC in America can ever really have. In the house, what is going to fly through your window? Who is going to knock down your door? Outside? Everything and anything can happen outside. If you live in a bad neighborhood, everything bad can happen. If you live in a good neighborhood, everything bad can happen. Safety is the moment that passed already where that awful terrible thing didn’t occur and your still breathing.

HAVE YOU SEEN ME?
Name: Destinee Peoples
Age: 18
Height: 4’11
Weight: 132-135lbs
DOB: January 26, 1994
Destinee is my older sister, and we haven’t seen her since Thursday, January 26th. She left to go hang out with friends around 3pm wearing pajamas (grey pants with bumble bees on them, a pink jacket and black and red Adidas). Last time we heard from her was at 1:30am Friday morning. She told my mother she was on her was on her way home but never showed. None of her friends have heard from her since January 26th, 2012 and her phone is going straight to voicemail. I need to find my sister. Please call me, Shaquana at (347)404-1826 or my mother Laureen at (704)712-7496 if you hear anything, see her, or have any useful information. We are terribly worried about Destinee and need to her home ASAP! And Destinee if you see this call and let us know that you are alright, your nephew (Duna/Duce) miss you! We love you and we’re not mad at you.
