i deserve a reward for making it this long
Remember when the news cycle was black people being shot by police all the time
now imagine you have a mental disorder that traps you in loops of thinking and then you have to still be a normal person and go to work
and then you're just supposed to pretend shit like that doesn't affect you for the rest of your life
it's just wild to me that black people are raised in a society where a not insignificant amount of people (both regular people and people in power) believe that you'll grow up to be a criminal or you're not as smart as others or you act completely differently because of your skin color
and then you have to carry that with you for the rest of your life
imagine being like 7-years-old and you have to think about school and videogames but also that people will just hate you for being a different skin color
that's fucking crazy
