12629348, I'm so glad I'm not a black person.

Am I too black? Am I not black enough? Am I being too black around white people? Am I not being black enough around white people? Are these white people viewing my blackness as a novelty? Am I embracing these white people viewing my blackness as a novelty because I'm getting paid for it? Does that make me less black? Am I a sellout?

All of these questions would make it hard as fuck to get out of bed day in and day out, and that's without consideration of systemic racism, police brutality, pay gaps, and the myriad of other concerns.
