Black people are held to a higher standard than every other race. We’re expected to be perfect, while others are given grace, excuses, and second chances. One mistake by a Black person gets used to judge an entire community, but the actions of individuals from other groups are rarely used to define their whole race. The double standard has always been there.

Black people are the only race of people I know that are hated by everyone.
Every other race on Earth seems to hate African American people.
What that lets me know is that we possess something that is so intimidating, so threatening, that people want to harm us, belittle us, humiliate us, and try to strip away our joy, our lives, and our very being.
So I want every Black person to know how special you are.
Because no one can be hated this much unless they possess something that no one else ever will.
