so let's talk about why its uncomfortable...because i've felt that too, but in 2018, i'm pushing past it.

it's uncomfortable because we are concerned and sensitive about what white people think about us.

and that's what i'm saying needs to end. the best behaved black person is still Black, period. there is no amount of respectable behavior that changes that. Barack and Michelle Obama proved that...racists and well meaning whites still put Trump in office.

our "image" is irrelevant.

so we all need to just be ourselves, while we upend and undo this white supremacist patriarchy cuz acceptance ain't the way.
