i’m gonna go on a little rant about being black cause i honestly love being black but the amount of shit that comes with it is crazy

like ik i’m not intimidating to look at at all but i still get uncomfortable around cops knowing that someone could see me as a threat or assume the worst of me which would result in my death

and i talk about it a lot but their isn’t one race besides our own that doesn’t hate black people and that’s so tiring to hear almost everyday and SO many ppl invalidate black struggles

and as a black person i witness damn near everyday some form of racism whether it’s brutal or not and personally it’s tiring for me cause ik that no matter where i go someone’s racist

and i do this thing subconsciously where i avoid using certain tones in my voice to not come off as angry (not all the time) which is fully on me but it’s perpetuated by society that in order for my voice to be heard i have to come off non-threatening

i would like to reiterate that i would NEVER want to not be black and i love being black but frankly it’s exhausting seeing the same shit happening that’s been happening for centuries with little to no change

i would like to end this thread by saying that even though i’m tired i will never stop fighting for the oppressed especially black people that’s all #BlackLivesMatter #RIPGeorgeFloyd #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
