SCHOOL vs. ME

So, i woke up this afternoon around 12:45, went to brunch w. my roommate Jenny, had mad french toast, eggs, home fries, and apple juice. I come back to my room and theres this email in my FirstClass account, (Firstclass is what students @ my school, MCLA Massachusettes College of liberal Arts, use as means of communication). Anyway-- i open the email, sent to me and some others, from this white chick and its entitled "Hip Hop/Urban Culture"

Here's the email:
Hey! What's up? I hope you all had a great winter break! I am writing to you because for my "Creating Story Theatre" class my group is doing the topic "Urban Culture". Our performance will be during the One Acts on April 28th-30th (performing on one of those days). We may need to work out a time that works for you to meet before then. All of us are not very familiar with hip hop dance and we were hoping maybe you guys could help out or recommend someone who could!
Some ways you can help:
--Teach us some hip hop dance/Step
--Perform as part of our skit (Or if you have a video from a performance we could show it on a projection screen)
--Cut a track(s) for us
--Answer some questions in an interview
I know that you all are probably wicked busy but this would be a great help! We are planning to include: hip-hop dance, music, slam poetry, body art, speed painting, graffiti art...ect. If you have any thoughts, suggestions or other ways you could help out please feel free to let me know. I hope you all have a good semester! Thanks!
BTW, this would be a great thing to put on a resume! :-D

Sincerely,
L.M.


I read it, and @ first nothing seemed wrong. But then i went back to the top to view who recieved this email, and not to my surprise it was all the African-American students on campus.
Mind you, my school is majority white and maybe about 60 blacks out of a campus of about 1,200.

A friend of mine Jamal, Replied to the email asking the recipients:
Hey,
Did everyone read the message below? LoL-- should any of us be offended? I honeslty don't know how I should feel about this... am I overreacting?

Jamal

Now, who told this girl that US black students know how to dance urban? Who told her to email all the black students on campus??? Who told her that i was BLACK?! How she assume all of us are African American??

So many levels of ignorance that i bet she didn't even catch on too. Just being mad fucking closed minded.

Sad right?
I didn't even reply back-- at least not yet.
Cuz i know for a fact, some fly shit will come off these lips.
And i got hella homework to do.
But ill be sure to show you guys my response once im done w. my homework.

All i could do is shake my head.
Am i overreacting?

iNTRODUCTiON: SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Ah hem!
- Allow me to introduce to myself.
Name is Jamila; mostly known as J-Millz;Millie;Millzy;Jay-Pay-$0;High Yellow; or as seen in the title-Milli Millz. I'n not into this whole INTRODUCTORY paragraph thing-- it brings me back to High school w. all the topic sentences & shit like that.

I've been waiting a while to begin this bloq of mine, but since im not that great at makin the banners and all that flyy shitt-- i relied on my handy dandy best friend Miss. SARAH NOELLE and here it is. I didnt want to begin posting and have you guys readin my shit on some ashy ass lay out. Ya diggy?! But now that its decent--- i can get on w. my show yo. =)


I'm not going to sit here & write a whole "ABOUT ME" section, but for some quick facts:
i am a Proud East New York Brooklynnite--currently resting my head in my 2nd home-- SouthSyde Jamaica Queens (Nucca you herd me?! 50 voice)--
I tend to curse alot &
I'm trying to cut down on the 'N' word.
But it is what it is...


Why name my blog WORD?
Well-- because for one, its the most used phrase in my vocab, and 2-- WORD dates back to b4 i was born. Being used as a Statement, Question, Description of something, Reaction, or simply said when theres NO reaction at all.

WORD?
WORD.
SAY WORD?!

lol.
You get my drift.

As we get deeper into my world (this bloq), you'll learn more and more about me. Through my words, which i use to communicate w. the outsiders that are, of cousre, not inside of me (Pause).
Just the way i THINK is retarded-- and my ideas for this bloq are SICK.

Whether you enjoy it or not though--- this shall be some real, raw, hilarious, any and everything you can think of shit.
These are words coming from a full time English Communications, 19 year old, Brooklyn born, Hispanic Black girl.

Subject to change-- cuz everyday i learn something new about myself.
I mean, like-- who really stays the same anyway?


The Kee Kee has began.
Let me rock yo.
