All too often white folks, especially in America, think that black people are being paranoid/racist in the way we don& #39;t seem to trust white folks as a whole.
But I think what you all are missing is that black folks are VERY used to being betrayed by white people for "reasons".

One thing that& #39;s really gotten me is how the word "family" gets abused. It& #39;s used as way to try and make you feel accepted, and to try and convince you that they aren& #39;t racist.
"We& #39;re family!!!"
But really that means they think they can gaslight you whenever and you& #39;ll take it.

But no matter how much they may scream family at you, or invite you to Christmas dinner, you aren& #39;t REALLY family.
You soon start to realize that you& #39;re the side project. You are their community service project.
They see themselves as doing YOU a favor.

And you& #39;re family until you have to bite back at something. Disagree with the family patriarch, or simply ask for respect.
Then you& #39;re "problematic" and "argumentative", and well they don& #39;t understand why you aren& #39;t just taking it like the rest of them!!!
Are you not family???

That& #39;s when you realize that they have two different levels of family. Their actual flesh and blood that they& #39;ll never truly disagree with no matter how shitty they act, and "family".
The optional people that they& #39;ll cut out cause you aren& #39;t REAL family.
