Change is inevitable...
Episode touched me because that's how middle school was for me. I didn't cop Jordans and shyt until just a few years ago when I had my own money and could afford to drop money on expensive sneakers.
When I was in JHS...fukk when I was elementary school...if you didn't have fly gear? You got clowned. Period. DAILY.
God help you if the shyt was fake
And no I didn't grow up in the fukking suburbs, this is Brooklyn, NY throughout the entire 90's and to this day.
Hell we had to use uniform in JHS but we could wear kicks and if you didn't have J's or at least SOMEONE'S kicks (Ewing, Jason Kidd, Pippens) nikkas called em rejects. You'd either get clowned or straight up jumped.
This episode also points out how the school system in this country fails to address mental issues and emotional problems in it's children until it's too late. Now I know some of you might say "Aye it's not the schools problem" but unfortunately, the dual side to that is that yo...as a child you are spending damn near 70% of your time IN SCHOOL amongst your peers. These are the years that will determine how you develop and what you will develop into as an adult. If you don't pay attention to those kids then, you can't wash your hands of what they become later. Now that's not a redlight to try to control and direct the thoughts of children, but ya'll are wrong when you say Black kids don't commit suicide from the shyt. Not only did that shyt happen when I was a youngin,shyt there was times that I felt like offing myself back then. That might actually be the first point in my life where I started considering that shyt now that I think about it.
Remember: That kid was dealing with his folks divorce...AND getting bullied at school.
This is message to all you "I don't want my kids exposing to this whole LGBT shyt" parents: your children are affected far more from the breakdown of familiarity (parents divorce, family, surroundings) than a woman kissing another woman or a man holding another mans hands or whatever else makes YOU uncomfortable.
On a side note, DBZ was airing on channel 11 (WPIX) as early as 96 because I used to watch it on Sunday mornings when they would repeat the same episodes up to when Goku was about to get off SnakeRoad and come back to Earth. Then I discovered the magic of the internet and started saving whatever money I could get in order to buy the Japanese episodes with the subtitles from Bargain Bazaar Downtown Brooklyn on Fulton St.
$10 for 3 episodes...complete with the Japanese commercials and shyt
But yeah...Earn...man I lost a lot of respect for this cat now that I see he's been leaning on Al for damn near his entire life, with no regard for his own actions.

and channeled that energy into ways to make themselves feel above the black experience. If you can’t see the constant theme of promoting black stereotypes while downplaying black people, I don’t know what to tell you
