Like...this country is literally based on...founded on lies and hypocrisy of the most egregious nature

And on a real note...nobody...not white people, not Asians...not Spanish people nobody is going to show Black people love because they can't be us

Like you can dye your hair and look white if you wanted to

You can look like the images on TV or whatever if you're other than black

But you can't dye your hair to look like mine. You can't widen your nose. If I become the standard...if *I* am beautiful and *you* literally cant look like me...then you are not beautiful in which Cass due to our binary human nature that means you're ugly

And nobody wants to be ugly so there is a deep need for all other races to shit on Black people

I'm rambling but I got some viable commentary and points in there


does it really matter?
