It's a response several people have given here.

But I think you wanted to be above all the responses here so you come with the "I didn't have to have a talk about racism. I lived it." like everyone else here didn't live it. Or there was nothing really to talk about because I guess you just intuit.

This whole, I wish I had the innocence of you ignorant mofos had but I was cursed with the brilliance to see through the illusions you all lived; it's a low key flex. It's so hard to be so aware and smart!!

COme on man. Give us a break. We get it. You are super smart.

But Imma leave you alone man. Even if you didn't have an a-ha moment, it sounds like you did have a complicated relationship with race growing up (like the rest of folks) and my point isn't really to belittle that experience.

I'm just coming at you for trying so hard to make your experience sound soo different and above it all then the everyone else.

Peace God.
