I've talked about it before, but it's insane that as a black person in America, you're taught/learn from an early age that people don't like you, don't trust you, but somehow know everything about you (that they've learned from stereotypes and pop culture) and you're just supposed to accept it as a part of life

Especially as someone with mental illness!

a (very long former, fuck him for reasons unrelated to this) friend of mine in high school once basically said i was the whitest black guy he knew

and in middle school i directly had another black person call me an oreo to my face.

suffice it to say that one unmarked post I made from a few days ago kind of also relates to waves hands at this post because a lot of the black excellence/talented tenth stuff i vaguely alluded to is what ultimately got me coded these ways and it sucked. it sucked a lot and gave me a ton of complexes that i spend a lot of time fighting off, both related to internalized anti-blackness and a bunch of black elitism that had a specific purpose for survival mechanisms under capitalism but is terrible at making sure you, you know, connect to people as a human being.

this is not a conversation i'm getting further into on here for certain reasons but what i'm going to say is this: learn to pay attention to who people are and not who you think they are. when they decide to speak, listen, and then educate yourself further.
