If you are going to judge me for my past (something that I can’t control) then you are no different from someone who judges someone primarily because of their race (something they also had no control over).
Amen brotha
trouble getting your foot in the door at a career, being followed in stores, getting followed on the streets by law enforcement, getting ostracized or even bullied in your youth, having to prove yourself repeatedly to teachers and bosses who doubt your abilities and credentials, difficulty getting loans, getting redlined in housing, having a higher chance of being misdiagnosed by health professionals, being more likely to deal with stress related illnesses, getting paid less for doing the same job but being least likely to move up the ladder, being more likely to get targeted by authorities for bullshyt, being more likely to get ticketed or jailed for said bullshyt and being more likely to end up with the harshest sentence and a record, receiving the message from when you are a lil kid that you are less cute, more dangerous, harder to feel sympathy towards, less sensitive to pain and emotions, less childlike, frightening along with whatever other daily pinpricks and irritants
because you are
BLACK
because of what continent your people originated from because of the features you have...
IS EXACTLY LIKE
people distrusting you because you murdered a young girl, have been in prison, and were once facing living the rest of your existence in a cage like a nasty feral animal that can't be trusted amongst the general public
BECAUSE YOU KILLED SOMEONE
oh boo-hoo he can't undo killing his friend and being a killer and ex-con, don't judge, its just like how I can't undo the deliberate actions I chose to take, even though I knew they were vile and immoral, that resulted in me being black
fukk this guy
I just know a hoe when I see one. And a college degree, a great church attendance record, a stamped passport, nor a fraudulent nerdish demeanor gon be able to hide it from me neeva.
