When I dressed as Oprah for Halloween I did not do it to be disrespectful. I understand that people may see it is being “racist” but it wasn’t meant that way. When I put on the face paint and sprayed my hair black it didn’t even occur to me that people would find it racist. I did it because my friends and I thought it was amusing. I was Oprah, my step sister was a whore, and two of my guy friends were Paris and Nicole. We dressed up and went to a friends house and partied by ourselves. 

When people started reblogging the picture and calling my racist, well, at first I thought it was funny. I thought it was funny because I’m far from being racist. The color of a persons skin doesn’t matter to me. You could be green and it wouldn’t matter to me. 

I don’t understand racism. I don’t understand why someone would think they are better than another person just because of the color of their skin. It bothers me when white people put others down because they’re not white as well. It bothers me when people use the “n” word. It bothers me that I live in a state that still have a good amount of racist people living in it. But there isn’t much I can do about others views on things. 

I try not to discriminate in any way. The color of someones skin, the language they speak, sexual orientation, or the disabilities/illness/afflictions mean nothing to me. I have never, and will never, thought that I was better than someone because I was a healthy white person. I’m not. I’m no where near better than another person. I’m just a person.

I’m sorry if my dressing as Oprah for Halloween offended you. I truly didn’t mean to offend anyone. It hurts knowing that I did. I really did not mean anything by it. 

Sincerely, Sandra.
