+ racism is living in a town where people cross the road because they're scared of you. where people drive past you in their cars and look confused to see you. when u work in a pub and get dirty looks for picking up empty glasses off of peoples tables (doing ur job)
+ racism is getting double the punishment for the exact same thing your white friends would do in secondary school, for being told off for wearing the wrong uniform when you've already told the school you can't afford it,
+ it's when ur uni tells u that black people are already not represented in the industry so we need to do better, it's when ur get in a fight on the bus and you're the only one that gets in trouble even when you didnt start it
+ it's when you, another lightskin & 2 white friends are being searched by the police but you get taken to one side, shouted at and searched more because you look 'more violent'
+ even just the looks, when you walk past a white family and they stop their conversation until they're 2 metres away from you because god forbid talking when a nigga is around you
+ there's a lot of shit that you'll never understand unless you're black & sadly this is the way it is - then they tell you to be the bigger people and protest peacefully when literally every single day another one of your people is viral on twitter for being murdered.
