As a kid went on a trip with fam to a Real nice resort and made the unwise decision of going swimming at the pool. Was the only black kid there... forget kid...only black Person there at the pool.
Them white folks was like


when they saw me coming to swim.
Didn't think anything of it

because I was just a kid at the resort..plenty of kids and people in the pool having fun. (none of em black)
Then when I started swimming they was like
!!!!
Men, Women, Kids, Old all




at me from every angle. Like I was a shark or some evil scary force.
I looked around for a second like


why everybody stop having fun?
why
EVERYbody staring at me soon as I started swimming? didn't take long for me to learn. I got out shortly after and went back to the room. I was racking my kid brain at first because I wasn't doing anything to stop the show like that.
They don't like that black person coming in their pool stuff. It was a sight to behold. Never seen anything like that before or since.
Can't describe how strong that negative energy was..especially for a kid. other peeps probably been through it before though.
