My family moved from Poland to the US when I was 8. We were still under communist rule when we left. My great-grand parents were killed in front on my grandmother during WWII. My grandmother was forced to do slave labor for 7 years. My parents suffered because of the poor economy and communism. We moved to the US with $350. Dad worked on a mushroom farm for low wages. Dad and mom learned English and forbid me from speaking Polish. We truly struggled and endured hardship while in Poland and our first few years in the US. When I told the girls my story they acted like they suffered far worse. They said whites should pay them reparations. Next they said that whites hold them down in society. I told them communism is slavery. Then they said (and I quote), "stupid little white girl actin like she know bout slavery, you ain't black, you don't suffer ****, everything was handed to you." This isn't true! Those girls are not slaves and never were. Why the attack on me when I lived through it?
