Chapter 1 White Ain't Always Right!
Arlene was born and raised in Trench Town Jamaica, West Indies. Her mother was Jamaican and her father was from Trinidad. Arlene was obsessed with white men. Her parents always told her, "if you want the good life, you better go white because white is right!".
Wrong! Arlene's life was a sad song: Arlene came to New York City when she was 13 years old. She did well in school. So well that she landed a scholarship at NYU and decided she would major in business or law. Arlene's parents were so proud of their baby girl. Out of their three children only Arlene had finished high school and was going to college.
Arlene's siblings took to the street life. Both her brother and sister decided street pharmacetics was more their style and speed. Arlene's parents were broken-hearted, and she was their only meal ticket to success. She wanted to study business and law. She wanted her own law firm, to help immigrants with their immigration problems. Many of her her family members had been deported due to immigration laws.
Her first year at NYU was fabulous. She became very popular with the affluent yuppies. She did not associate with Jamaicans or black people in general. She was out to get her "great white hope".
At the end of her first year, before the Summer Break, Arlene met a wonderful white man at the library. She was doing a research paper for her pre-law class. Pat was very charming and a perfect gentleman. They made eye contact from the table where she was sitting. She became very shy when the blond haired, blue eyed guy approached her. Pat had the serious "Mack" and she was butter. Arlene melted right into his game plan.
Pat's family was from Ireland. Irish and Jamaicans had similar accents in common. Pat loved reggae music and Jamaican food. Arlene always wanted to visit Europe, so her prayers had been answered, she thought. Arlene and Pat talked for hours. The librarian had to tell them it was closing time. Pat asked Arlene for her phone number and asked her out on a date. Pat courted her for a year before he popped the big question, " Will you marry me?"
To Arlene's parents, Pat was the best son-in-law candidate. They adored him. He would often treat Arlene's parents to dinner and a movie. Pat and Arlene father loved sports, especially hockey. Pat surprised Arlene's father with season hockey tickets. Pat would go to Church on Sunday with the family while dating Arlene. He never came to their house empty handed; he always came bearing gifts. Pat loved helping Arlene's mom with her garden and taught her landscaping. Pat was an asset to her family. In their eyes, he could do no wrong.
Arlene almost lost her mind with excitement.
She was marrying one of Ne York's finest, a firefighter with good benefits. Pat had just become a firefighter. He was considering taking some law classes at NYU as well. Little did Arlene
know, but her future husband was an undercover alcoholic. Pat never drank when he dated Arlene, but once they tied the knot, he drank non-stop.
Pat became very violent after drinking. He would beat Arlene so bad that she couldn't go to school. Arlene's grades began to drop and so did her GPA, but she was to ashamed to tell her yuppie friends or family. This couldn't be happening, she thought. Arlene's world was supposed to be perfect. Pat had promised to treat
Arlene like his queen; instead, he treated Arlene like his servant. She was forced to cook and clean to his specifications. if she didn't, Pat would snap and physically attack her.
One Autumn day, while Arlene was grocery shopping, she ran into her brother and sister whom she looked down on. Arlene thought she was better than they were because she was in college studying pre-law. She had been married for a year now and she had never invited her siblings to their home, not to mention their wedding.
Arlene's siblings, Devon and Pam, heard their baby sister had roped in a Yankee, as her big brother Devon referred to Arlene's husband. Pam noticed bruises on her sister face and neck and asked her was everything cool. Arlene played it off and told her siblings "everything is cool, mon".
In fact, Arlene didn't look good at all. She was a very pretty girl with a great shape but Arlene had gained weight and looked very distraught. Her face was puffy and swollen, and her eyes were red. Arlene began to fumble with her groceries and told her siblings that she had to hurry home because she had a night class that she had to get ready for.
Devon and Pam decided to follow their baby sister home because they smelled a stinking fish.
When Arlene arrived, she was late, and her husband had started drinking so he was not in a good mood. Pat began to curse like a sailor and fling around the groceries she brought home. Pat had no idea Pam and Devon were straight up thugs from the streets. If you looked at them wrong, you might not see another day. They were always strapped with a piece or a switchblade knife ready for anything that came their way!
Pam and Devon pried open a window and slipped in the house. They could hear Pat's drunken rage and then they heard their baby sister hit the floor! Pam and Devon busted into the room. Pat was shocked and so was Arlene. Devon had a gun, and Pam had a ratchet switchblade knife that she was famous for slicing and dicing peeps on the street with. Both Pam and Devon bum rushed Pat. He nearly pissed on himself and sobered up immediately! Devon had the pistol in Pat's mouth, and Pam had the knife to his throat.
Meanwhile, Arlene was semi-conscious; Pat had hit her so hard that she thought she was dreaming, until she heard her big sister say, "I should kill ya bomber clot ras for beating pun my baby sistah". That's when Arlene came to her senses and picked herself off the floor and started to plead for Pat's life. Devon looked at Arlene with blood fire in his eyes and replied, "What iya Arlene, chaw , him no do nothing but beat de I like you iz him slave! No mon woman beater fa dead two gun shoots inna him head seen!"
Arlene tried to reason with her siblings, but they were just not hearing it until Pat made them a financial offer to save his life. Pat offered Arlene's siblings $2000 cash, plus he promised that he would go get help for his alcohol problem and that he would never put his hands on Arlene or disrespect her again. As Devon and Pam were ready to make their decision, the doorbell rang.
It was their parents who decided to surprise Arlene with a visit because they hadn't seen Pat or their baby girl in months. "Well it's on now," said Devon and he told Arlene to answer the door so her parents could see what a low-life, no good, woman beater she had married!
Arlene opened the door very slowly. Her mom was carrying a cake she had baked, and her dad had a present for Pat. When Arlene's parents saw her face, her mom screamed and dropped the cake. Arlene's father became enraged asking Arlene, "Who did this to you?" As Arlene father entered the living room, he saw his older children with the culprit. Arlene parents were shocked, they could not believe that their "Mr. Perfect Pat" had been abusing their baby girl.
Although Arlene's parents were unhappy with their other two children, they were very pleased that they had rescued their baby sister. Arlene's father was so angry and disappointed in Pat that he snatched the gun from his son and threatened to kill Part for hurting his baby girl. He told Pat, "I trusted you with my daughter and you disrespect me, my family, and my daughter!"
Pat began to plead with Arlene's father. He told him how sorry he was and that he needed help because he was a functioning alcoholic. Right then a light went on in her dad's head. "What do you purpose to do Pat? It all makes sense now," he said, "This is why my baby girl GPA dropped and why she is always saying she was to busy to come over and visit. It's because my baby girl was ashamed."
Arlene just sobbed in her mother's arm while her siblings were trying to convince their father to put the gun down and talk to Pat. Pam had put her blade away. They almost felt sorry for Pat. Pat had never been this scared in his life. Arlene's father still had the gun to Pat's head and the family was begging him to put down the gun.
Suddenly, the police burst into their house and
