    I'm still stuck on the fact that we are hated because of our skin color not content of our character (tf) ..... so sad he say if he had one wish at 8 years old it would be to become white because being black was too hard 🥾 DAMN... Think I got a tear in my eye😢 we been through so much as a people and culture.

      We ain’t hated because of our skin color. Shit goes deep. We’re envied because of who, and more importantly WHAT we are. That originating envy gets transferred to anger, jealousy, & hatred because of their lacking. It’s always Love/Hate relationship with us. Just like the Truth...love it or hate it.
