it’s so clear that slavery and life after slavery was a lot more worse than what they told/taught us. they teach the watered down version instead of giving us the authentic, unfiltered, and cruel version.
RIP to this young hero who passed away last night after courageously rescuing a woman who fell from London Bridge 💔 prayers out to his family and friends ❤️
Walking while black.
The kind of hate that our black skin attracts is absolutely ridiculous. There are so many #jonathanpentland’s in positions of power who abuse their authority and engage in white supremacy activities, just like this.
Biggest lesson I’ve learnt is not to give so much of myself to people who will not do the same for me. Never beg for a friendship or relationship with anyone. You can’t force someone to be a good friend or a good partner to you.
Staying positive doesn’t mean you’re happy 100% of the time. It means that even when you’re feeling low you know that it’ll pass and better times will come again.
