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
it's WILD the shit people say to you as a black person and you just have to... take it? I guess?
If you stand up for yourself, you're just shouted back down by the entire group or told "it's just a joke" or something along those lines
