Hello, there. My name is Alice Watkins. I'm a six-foot-tall, blonde-haired and green-eyed, voluptuous Irishwoman living in the city of Boston. I hail from the city of Galway in Ireland. My family sent me to America for my college education. We do fairly well for ourselves. My father owns Watkins Enterprises, a multi-million-dollar textile business. He's well-known in the international business community and has offices in Dublin, Ireland as well as Boston, Massachusetts. He decided that I'd live in Boston so we'd be closer together while I went to school.
Nowadays, I attend Roxbury University, a small and historically black private school located in the heart of Boston. Roxbury University is my new home. A vibrant and very active place. It has a proud history. It's also one of the most prejudiced places I've ever seen. Black folks in positions of power, especially black women, abusing their authority over the people under them.
My first brush with this kind of racism and sexism came when I went to try out for the women's volleyball team and the black women on the team made me feel quite unwelcome. I don't know what the big deal is. Seriously. I've played volleyball my entire life. It's a very popular sport among both men and women in Ireland. My brother Alex plays on the men's volleyball team at Ohio State University. It runs in our DNA. I wasn't about to quit now. So I stuck it out through the tryouts and made it on the team.
The way I understood it, the Roxbury University Department of Athletics sponsored quite a few Division One varsity teams which were said to be open to both sporty men and sporty women. Race wasn't specified on the applications. Yet I noticed a certain dichotomy at the school. The football, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's volleyball, men's and women's soccer, men's wrestling and men's and women's rugby teams were filled with black students. The men's and women's ice hockey teams, along with the men's and women's lacrosse teams were filled with white students. The women's field hockey team was all white, as were the men's and women's swimming teams. The men's and women's golf teams were all-white as well. Lines were drawn invisibly and you weren't exactly welcomed everywhere you went.
Some of the black men I met on campus were friendly. Some of them hit on me. Some ignored me. They were just men being themselves. I didn't have a problem with that. The black women on campus acted very hostile toward me everywhere I went. I couldn't understand. I didn't know any of these women from Adam. What in hell did they have against me? They acted like they had a grudge against me and made it seem like it was personal. What in hell was their problem?
I don't have anything against black men and black women. I'm not racist. My first act as a new citizen of the United States of America was to vote for Barack Obama during the Massachusetts Primary. I chose him over Hillary Clinton. Why? Simply because I thought him to be smarter, and more in touch with people's issues than she was. I'm not narrow-minded in any way. However, I am certainly not going to sit around and do nothing while the school's black women treat me like I'm less than human. I went to the dean's office and told him that a few of the black female students were harassing me. The dean laughed. Apparently, he found it funny. I didn't find it funny. The old codger thought the idea of black women and white women having a cat fight to be funny. I felt like smashing him but held my temper in check. I left his office and went back to my dormitory.
The question is, how do I get back at the black female students without tiptoeing on the political correctness line? I thought long and hard about it. What is the one thing all black women hate about white women? White women's ability to steal intelligent, educated black men from the hands of those ill-tempered and ill-mannered black women they all seem to gravitate toward. I selected my target. The captain of the Roxbury University football team was Tyrone Patterson. A six-foot-five, 250-pound black stud who was a god on the gridiron. He took the Division One Football world by storm last year. In his sophomore year, there was talk of him joining the NFL Draft. He'd be quite a catch for any woman at the school. I swore he would be mine.
