it seems that everything, if not most things created by white people, are intended to be consumed by everyone but certain things created by black people, latinx people, and so on, aren’t seen as consumable by all people … of course that is, everything besides commercial rap and fashions that haven’t been worn by people in a decade

i’m a mighty morphin’ angry black woman! i love it when having an attitude gets confused with my being socially anxious while being black
how do we avoid becoming stereotypes, stigmas?
you can learn a lot about people and their insecurities by how they react to the expression of someone else’s truths.

the brave act of standing alone is often considered a criminal offense.
apparently, you cannot have a sense of independence, knowledge and security of self and identity without the insecurities of others being projected onto you, no matter how it is that you express your strength.

you cannot dance them away. you cannot work them away. you cannot sleep them away.
