and i live in south sudan where *we* are our main problem

i still dont think our issues are as insurmountable as that of african americans.
i guess i should say, poor Black people are more fkced up than our poor.

and then the whole they aint pullin up bootstraps mentality that is even amongst Black people?

i dont know
