I was raised in a black home up until I was 12 and was put in foster care. I was adopted by a yt family and I thank god everyday for that. Changed the trajectory of my life. I don’t go thru life looking to be a victim. What people dont understand is; What you look for is what you will see. Your mindset is what separates success and happiness from misery and failure. I was treated like an inconvenience up until I was 12. I was taught hate, and that I was owed because I was black, I was hated because I was black, BY MY BLACK FAMILY. Once I moved in my foster parents house, I was treated and taught and talked to like I was capable. My skin color did not matter, it was a non factor. I was told that I was a capable smart human that deserved love, and joy. I saw people for the first time instead of seeing a yt girl or black girl or whatever. I am a victim of nothing. I can’t even image the misery and cycle of failure I would have fallen into if I wasn’t removed. Changed everything for me. The only people that ever got something to say is other black people. They still stuck in that mindset. Seeing the differences between us siblings that were put in foster care vs the 3 that my mom fought for is like night and day. Now is every black household like that? No. But majority are. Rich or poor doesn’t matter. Ghetto or not doesn’t matter. It’s drilled into your head that you are black and every obstacle and every difficult thing you face is because you’re black. It’s a disease of the mind.

Girl I'm gay and ppl can make gay jokes I've got a sense of humor. It's def all about the tone. Someone with a certain tone says boy you gay as hell it's funny depending on the context. You can tell when ppl cool or homophobic

It’s crazy when they call acting civilized or talking correctly “white” or white washed. Like why do you have to be white to do those things 😭

It’s not the same. One has a far greater historical context than the other.
