It’s draining asf and bruh our worth is measured in inches like we’re on a damn auction block. In a way I hate to say it, but melanin is a requirement for me now. Women of color are more likely to see me as an actual person and not just them but their families. I’ve had too many shitty experiences that I should’ve never had to deal with & ik ykwim
Yoooo bro I got a story for you. I was sitting at the dinner table with my ex’s pops (she was Polish/German), and we were talking about rap music. I kid you not, totally unprompted, this guy goes “Yeah nigga, I feel you nigga.” 😂 At least her mom had the brains to tell him to tighten up and not say that shit to me. I just sat there and laughed it off. But in retrospect it’s like what the fuck? Why’d I let that shit slide foe? Shits wicked out here bro.
Fuckin insane but I don’t even really hold you bc a lot of the time when ts happens the shock of it just hits you and all you can really do is nothing at all especially when it’s a situation like that or like micro aggressions in the workplace and shit like that. And then if you crash you just the animal they already think you are
