I have a dream!

maybe im thinking a little too hard but, i dont think this is something to laugh at. This child’s dream is to work alongside their mother. to do the hard work [because in all reality it is the janitors, the factory workers, those in food service who face the REAL stress. moreso than the the CEO. yeah, i said it] that they see their mother participating in. it sounds like Ashanta is holding their mother in a high esteem [being as it’s their “dream”] and i dont think there’s anything wrong with that. 
if one is laughing because it’s a dream that is not “ambitious” i would argue against that too. one can guess that Ashanta is a child of color, and vowing to one day have a place of employment while occupying their body IS ambitious to be quite frank [assuming this is a cisfemale child of color, but these are assumptions im trying to keep from making concrete]. to not only want to have employment [because they couldve said another of TRULY frivolous things] but to also maintain a familial relationship that society constantly tries to destroy within families of color [racially motivated DHS, CPS, social workers, etc] is monumental. 
this child’s dream is to WORK with their MOTHER.

i think thats beautiful.
fuck anyone for laughing at it. 

i really love your break down. thank you.
