Black boys get put on a pedestal and be walking around them white schools like they King Kong joining in with the white folks bullying the black girls. they never stop separating themselves from black girls either. They always will feel superior.
Studies show that Black boys tolerate/accept racism more than Black girls, which is why in PWIs Black boys are tolerated as tokens/entertainment, while BW are ostracized for having racial pride and being outspoken against bigotry
white people could not last a single week -- maybe even not a day -- living in a society where people casually talk about them like this and everyone else ignores it or outright supports it. only black people are expected to tolerate this for generations on end.
Remember when the show 'Watchmen' came out and white people lost their fucking minds because the show was historically accurate of the massacre in Tulsa? I use that as an example of how white people don't know black people as well as black people know white people.
I’ve never met someone who’s genuinely happy with their life, comfortable with themselves, and at peace with their surroundings go out of their way to be rude. more often than not, that kind of behaviour comes from people who are deeply unhappy and project their pain onto others. once you realise that, it becomes much easier not to take it personally.
True alchemists know you just gotta lean into your inner chaos in order to conjure something new. This is why people stuck in chronic avoidance also suffer for prolonged periods. There is no reward for avoiding yourself.
Watched this black cashier have a full convo wit a ww @ macys. I got to the register, greeted him, he didn’t say one word to me. When i finished paying I was like “you only speak to white people?” He started stuttering. Ppl have basic manners for who they choose to.
And y’all need to start speaking up. I never feel better when I take the high road. Not ever. There’s shit that eats me up daily from a decade ago. When I react how I want to react there’s no need to relive the scenario. It was corrected. Dare to be the only real one in the room.
Justin Bieber was calling for his mother at the time, but she completely ignored him. That’s why Trevor Moore created a parody about Justin Bieber and how he was exploiting him in the entertainment industry. Kevin Hart then made some jokes, but in reality, it was a true story.
I know a lot of people secretly get an ego trip/enjoyment out of knowing people are envious of them, but if you can see a layer deeper it’s truly no joke. Very terrifying.
