I Was a U.S. Diplomat. Customs and Border Protection Only Cared That I Was Black.

Young intelligent educated woman U.S. diplomat is continually harassed by border agents. Her [male white] coworkers always drive through the border on their way to and from work while she is kept for interrogation at gun point and belongings searched. Why is there a government entity that is preventing another from working? We know the answer, if she was tall from Norway customs agents would wave her through. You aren't able to pay a person back for their life for trying to disrupt their early career and life. Likewise an ignorant bigot border agent has less to lose, so to speak, than a valuable young diplomat. One has worked hard and striven to be where they are while the other is hired as enforcement or a guard dog. Within two years the state department said she had to work in Mexico, she was unable to transfer work to the US, and that she had to pay for her relocation expenses to Mexico. After two years of what sounds way worse she is given a medical diagnosis in Mexico related to her work related stress so the state department says they will no longer ask for repayment for relocation.


That sounds like an excuse to me - border enforcement harassing her with no help from anyone at the state department. And when she describes what is happening authorities use doctors and hospitals to pretend they have no wrongdoing.

This pattern is also playing out in my personal life. Cultivating cannabis, everyone thinks it is theirs and nothing is mine. Every single person who lays eyes on me growing or the plants is convinced in their own mind one way or another that none of it belongs to me and they have every right to send me away and keep everything for themselves. The police officers (not the ones who showed up when I emailed my previous employers [and schools they are the same thing mixed] but the ones when someone called that I am shouting at them) and neighbors alike somehow believe all I've worked for should be given up and handed over. Nothing to do with commercialization or recreational cannabis whatsoever - this is simply people seeing something that they want or do not like or both and trying to take it caution rules laws to the wind. If I start talking about leaf blowers at 9:30 in the morning or paying a person to cut your lawn it sounds unrelated but this is all 100% linked together when you see the all landscape trucks parked and driving around. I'll be a college student, who thinks using a leaf blower is a waste of time, the teacher fails me because they do not like me, and the leaf blower person is what upset or purposefully waking everyone up with noise next to their windows? All around fail on every side. This is a very easy example, I fix the entire property up while creating an organic garden. Then some idiot with a title says I am a criminal and assigns everything to them. So arrested for kilograms of cannabis flowers, meanwhile the place has increased in value from my effort. That is only theft nothing else. Because no one is going to say oh you should have kept it to sweet potatoes then it would have been ok. That doesn't make any sense.
