Naomi wrote this piece this week: Far out these gubbas make me sick. They treat us like were big black ticks. They always chuck us mob around. These white fellas think they wear the crown. Far out these gubbas need to pull their heads out and just keep on driving as we walk past .Don’t stop and stare like you haven’t seen us before . Far out these gubbas have done this long enough and now it’s time to STOP .As I stand in front of this one gubba with his uniform on and his big shiny gun, I block out everything he is tryna tell me because I really couldn’t care less about them and that humongous pimple on his left check just took my focus ,I heard nothing but the kids playing and mucking around at the skate park and what I smelt while I stood in front of that police man was his spray . Just as I walked away he waved to me, did I wave back NO because so many times I have tried to be nice and wave or say hello, but do they wave back or say hello, No they don’t so how about I give them a taste of their own medicine ,how about we show them that we can get good jobs and a good education lets all stand up to them and show them that they can’t stand over us anymore .
