Dear Diary,
Today, on my way home from work, I had to stand on the bus. After I paid my fare, got off the bus to walk around to the back, and got back on, I realized it was already very full. There was barely enough room to stand, let alone sit after my long day at work. There was even a little girl standing because the white folk wouldn't let her sit! I couldn't believe how insensitive they were being, including the bus driver. Of course, the whites on the front of the bus were seated comfortably, all spread out and taking up seats for their important brief cases and whatnot. This isn't the first time I've felt frustrated on the bus. Not only are we forced to sit (or stand) in the back, but we have to pay our fare and then get back off the bus so we don't walk through the white section. As if they're going to catch something from us! I don't understand what makes the white people believe they're better than us blacks, but I'm getting awfully frustrated with them and their superior mindset. Pretty soon, somebody's going to have to do something about the way the busses are working around here. They can call what's going 'separate but equal,' but they aren't fooling me or any of the other black folk. Raymond has been getting fed up also; I feel like that poor man is going to snap if we don't see some changes around here.
