This whole “poor people can’t do theory” is a misrepresentation of how theory works.

Friendships are structured by antiBlack classism.
When you think you’re “outgrowing” a person it has a lot to do with the way your life has moved through class systems. It’s the same when we “leave home.” You’re not outgrowing ppl, classism is tearing relationships a part.
