They crack jokes about George Floyd and laugh in our faces, and we do nothing.
They shoot our children in the back and then sentence them as adults for defending themselves and we do nothing.
They call Michelle Obama, the first Black First Lady of the United States a Man, and a Monkey and we do nothing.
They strip away voting rights in the same southern states where we send our best Black athletes to play college sports to make them BILLIONS, and we do nothing.
They openly talk about bringing SLAVERY back, and we do nothing.
We are desensitized to our own disrespect.
Every black city or town was somehow flooded, burned down or destroyed by psychotic and racist white people but they want you to believe you’re the problem and violent.
Historically, it’s always been them. If they hadn’t done anything in this life, they’ve taught the WORLD a masterclass on how to project onto others.
Don’t even let anyone gaslight you into thinking intellectual mismatch is not a thing in romantic relationships. It's not even about formal degrees or booksmarts. It shows up in things like curiousity, conversational depth, imagination, openness, and worldviews.
Black people earning degrees is forever a flex and I’m tired of people acting like it’s not. It was once ILLEGAL for us to read. Every graduation is a form of resistance.
