@saint_cloudy Why? Because I should. Every day I light a candle, and I spend 5 minutes mourning all the people who came before me, so I could be me. The strength it took to prevail. And the knowledge I hold, the strength to share it.
@saint_cloudy Benefit from the whiteness of the oppressor. My father wanted me to know all this, so I wouldnβt have to be the white person crying at the museum. But, I will still cry. I will mourn the traumas of those who lived that life. I will mourn their pain, the chances taken from them.
