And if anything... I knew about black and "dugla" FIRST before anything...
Cause that's the makeup of my family. And that's the main "difference" my family experienced growing up in Guyana and Trinidad.

What I would say is that these white men are doing what a lot of Black people wouldn't.
Appreciating their children's natural beauty.

Who can forget this wig headed monster sitting on a national platform calling Black hair "nasty".
After a white woman sat there and went on about how much she treasures her Black children's tresses.

People went in on Sheryl but I think it was largely because she brought something that is usually swept under the rug or whispered on the low, into the forefront.



omfg :uhh:

The ROAR of applause after she said "yeah but your sons hair was probably some long silky stuff"
:plzstop:

Recently.
In all honesty.
:dead:  I'm like FUCK IT... you guys judge me off of perceptions for so long.  And that's my fault for not sharing who I am.
Glock brought it out of me.
Love him.

draisnathan is hea for mess t'day

fhjjjjfffff I'm not being messy

I just remember him being very guarded with his tea.

I don't think this is a bad thing.

I'm really going to ask my mom though.
Cause now I feel crazy as fuck.
Parents giving books on black history, halloween costumes, long-discussed talks.
I got NONE of that.

The most we talk we got is when something HAPPENED... like an INCIDENT.
Like my college program director being a racist bitch, or a cop stopping my nephew, etc.

I don't take what you say as shady.
You're kind hearted.

And yes, I was guarded... I still am to a degree.
It's a just a kii to me NOW... cause now that I'm being open and vocal and I'm getting push back... so it's like damn you do, damn if you don't.

They do.
:dead:

A lot of what I say or do... is perceived different.
Without a doubt.

It's cool though.
I'll just continue being who I am.

i agree ... trust, i understand ...
but there are a few good souls on the board.
and i don't mind connecting with a few.
so i have to be transparent to do that.

ah ... maybe
I remember thinking you came off very condescending.

Kinda like ppl here weren't important enough for you to share your experiences.

So it may just be a process
I know we've made up plenty of times in PMs
I'm just now seeing a glimpse of something genuine in you tho which is nice.

Congrats on the new life and attitude!

my mother made it her business to teach me and all of my siblings about black history and the black experience.
She taught me what they wouldnt teach in schools..
she also made me read this really thick black history book..
i guess every household is different but my mom wasnt having it.
XCCCVCC

!!!

My mom bought this book where every letter of the alphabet represented an important black person in history  :plzstop:
kii

Yeah not sure about others but that was very common in my family
She also encouraged us to do famous black ppl for Holyween and mess
Tho that was annoying.. I understand her logic now.. and why it's important to know who we are and who we could become

That's amazing.
There's def different experiences.
I didn't get that growing up.
My mom was really focused on us having respect, saying "Good night" and "Good morning" when you answer the phone/greeting people, keeping the house tidy, education was like #1 above everything... I always felt like I could achieve anything.

Like my mom, hardly ever said "you are black"... she would say "you guys are Americans"... cause they always felt like we had/have it better than them going up.

It's only when I started my college program that I started to experience the foolery... And the nonsense that goes on.  Even at work, I had some moments with my supervisor who is a white male... and I don't hold my tongue, so it was a THING at the office at first. 

But yea, it's just, we all have different experiences and outlooks, based on how we grew up.
Yikes i really couldn't imagine but that would explain your stance on a lot of our racial discussions.

Kinda like your stance on gays tbh lolz   
which stance hun? HAHA
