The fatigue of being a minority is so overwhelming that I went into my own "Rabbit Hole" instead of being spoon fed by social media conspiracy and a plethora of over zealous stimulant induced influencers who prioritize fame over legacy and hedonism over heritage. I thought "Rich Dad,Poor Dad" by @theRealKiyosaki was my favorite book until I realized I only read it a few times to name drop it to validate my intelligence and financial "awakening" in the midst of "Whites" and "others". I spent the majority of my life fighting for validation such as my great "Black Predecessors" only to still fall into the ever so flamboyant life of being a "Intelligent Gangster" with an admirable reputation for being connected to every social annoyance that put me in the "Black Box" that has been unlockable for so long. I've been waiting to cry and let it out. I took a walk around a "false happy" suburb in Santa Monica trying to act like I belong
while listening to "King Von" trying not to hyperventilate and act normal while nodding my head while smiling at every other race to show I'm friendly.
I sometimes fantasize about being the addict living in the tent talking to the stop lights in '87 degree weather going unnoticed and invisible. I crave this invisibility that the addicts and mentally ill have on the sidewalks and by the 7/11's just to go unnoticed because of my Dark black skin with tattoos. I didn't understand this feeling that mildly started 5 years ago which has grown into a full fledged fear of existence in a society where my presence is worsened if I have a hoodie on. I had to find out what was going on, it was scary. I'm literally exhausted with being black so much that I don't feel right when I meet someone and don't let them know I'm "Cultured". I told my stepdad "I hated being black" and he went with the cliche run down which is programmed in all of us "African Americans" about how we built this and started this and we are the real this and original that only to be compensated with "You better know who you are!" , The same phrase that is uttered in every Black film about the "Ghetto". I didn't have to look it up to know that I suffered from "Black Fatigue". I didn't even know it was a thing until I asked Google..... The mental fatigue of being black in America is coined "race-based traumatic stress". I NEVER knew this was a thing! No one in the "Black Community" EVER speaks on this! How dare I be cheated out of knowing what's wrong with me! The man birthed by my mother but molded by systemic discrimination and racism.
Black adults are 20 percent more likely to report serious psychological distress than white adults. > National Institutes of Health.< My mental health has lead me to believe avoiding a heinous stereotypical death is my ultimate success.
I'm a U.S. Army Veteran that has PTSD from the military and I've come to legitimately find out I also have PTSD that stems from me being born African American in a lifetime ( up to 9.1%) compared to white Americans (7.4%). > Deconstructing Sigma <. So in advertently I suffer from "Dual PTSD".
