I mentioned this to my therapist one (1) time in 2020 and she clocked me so bad about it. She asked me “why do you care if someone is trying to play you or thinks you’re dumb?” And I was like “wait…”
y’all. my grandma just called me and said “now teach me about this tulsa massacre thing…you know they ain’t teach us nun like that in school in the south.” so i got to teach my grandmother.
if you have a Black parent, there’s about a 99% chance their fave ice cream flavor is butter pecan (pronounced differently than pecan) or black walnut.
My explanation was that if ppl think I’m dumb, that means they think they can get over on me. And she goes “…well can they?” And I respond “no cuz I’m not stupid.” And we just sat there looking at each other.
I’m always being subjected to weird ass shit in public. I’m at the the grocery store picking out a rotisserie chicken and out of NOWHERE, this lady next to me says, “excuse me, but do you ever feel like you’re ignored as a light skinned person in this country?” So I’m like…
I didn’t think I’d need to give this disclaimer, but my therapist asks questions in earnest. It forces me to think about the material impact of what I’m anxious/ruminating about. We do have a good time wit it though.
I said “honestly, no girl.” She continues “oh cuz i been standing here and nobody is helping me. Maybe I gotta be DARK SKINNED to get some service.”
Bitch i turned my cart around so fast cuz the dark skinned ppl in question were COPS. Absolutely fuckin not.
i’d bet my last dollar this nigga don’t know where “honor your father and mother” is in the bible because “fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them,” is RIGHT below it.
we all agreed that grocery stores are price gouging so why are people in the comments and qts suggesting what you should have done? i can’t stand ppl smh
there is no reward for holding him down. he’s gonna judge you for loving him through his self loathing. so leave early if he has a catastrophic downfall (or even a minor one, really).
