like damn. disenfranchised as hell, but i have no botox or filler and ppl think im under 21. i have all my original teeth and they’re straight. body tea. i drive a new car i paid for in cash. i have a high rise apartment that i paid the year lease for in cash. i have 2 degrees at 23 and make 54/hr. and im hot like shit id be mad too if i had more advantages and still flopped omfg
My hair is healthy because I’m not bleaching it or using heat on it. My skin is healthy because I don’t wear heavy makeup every day or expose myself to UV rays via tanning. I look better than them because I treat myself better than them, while they are actively damaging their hair and skin for their beauty standards
I went to a bar and the owner said I look like his teenage son 😭 I’m 23 with a full head of hair, all my teeth and they’re straight. Can’t relate on the new car or high rise, but I live within my means and have a car and apartment nonetheless. I’ve also got 2 degrees and I’m working on a master’s with 0 debt and make 5x my state’s minimum wage. Life is a cake walk when you have a decent job and don’t hyperfixate on what literally every other demographic in America should be allowed to do 😅
slaves are still a thing. it's literally outlined in the constitution as an acceptable punishment. in fact, slavery continued in several forms for decades after abolition, such as the system of convict leasing. not to mention segregation, red lining, anti-black terrorism (burning black wall street), medical and scientific abuse (tuskegee institute), over-policing, anti-miscegenation, etc etc etc
"So it's still a thing in the United States as of today to what it was back then" you're in a race. another racer smashes your knees into pieces. years later you're at a reunion talking about how badly that impacted you. you just relearned how to walk. your opponent shows up and says "well, it's not as bad as of today as it was back then. you'll walk again" do you think your opponent's point is valid?
It wouldn't bother you if your great grandma was kidnapped, r***d and t*rt*r*d for her whole life, then forced to breed your grandparents? It wouldn't bother you when your grandparents were freed only to be arrested for "loitering" (taking a lunch break on public property) and enslaved once again as leased convicts? It wouldn't bother you when your grandparents finally got released only to be told they can't buy a home for them and your parents because they're black?
It wouldn't bother you when your parents were told they can't go to school because they're black? It wouldn't bother you when your parents managed to make it in black wall street only to have it all burned down by racist terrorists? It wouldn't bother you when police drop remote explosives on your neighborhood, kill kids, then refuse to let firefighters put out the fire that's burning your whole neighborhood down, because you all organized (free speech)?
