my dad was a Black man from east St. Louis with an 8th grade educationmy mom is an immigrant Mexicana with a third grade educationthey got me and my five sisters into a three bedroom house in the burbs by the time I was 14many of the ways they raised us would be unacceptable by today's standards, but overall I think they produced quality humans the burdens of their short comings I always place back on the racist xenophobic classist patriarchal society we are a part of anywayin my 20s I liked to dump my schisms on them, but that shit has waned as I've gotten older
