the bullying i received as a young dark skin black girl.. one time i was wearing braids and all these little boys laughed and pointed and called me whoopi goldberg?? not even a good or funny insult tbh

in elementary school they told my mom i couldn’t have beads on my braids because they were “causing a distraction”

in my english class the N word was in a book we were reading and my teacher called on me (the only black person in the room) to ask me how that word makes me “feel”

yall remember that vid of a black girl getting thrown in a dumpster?
that video TRIGGERED my soul because the same thing happened to me by my white “friends” in high school

i could go on but this thread started bringing back repressed memories so ima stop here lmao
