I agree 1000% and try to shut up n listen. I was constantly told from a young age that I was the promising Black hope of the future cuz everyone basically wanted me to be K*m*l* H*rr*s but I realize now that I actually have no place as a mvmt leader cuz I'm a liberal wet dream https://twitter.com/KhayaDaHome/status/1391565767011758081

I feel my role is mostly to wake up my peer group n the elder class above us. But at the same time I want this convo to be had more openly cuz I really sometimes feel s**c*d*l feeling like there's no place for me amongst my own ppl n like, some of us do get it

Like I really want other Black ppl to tell me, as a suburban Black person who has become heavily radicalized and sees 100% what all the class and respectability issues are, what do y'all want me to do? Cuz the way y'all tweet it really feels like the answer is k*ll myself

at the same time I realize that's no one else's work to do but my own. I read that Black Suburbanite book or whatever and it was basically like "you'll never win" and it was both liberating and terrifying. Even in this thread I'm probably projecting the fragility Khaya mentioned
