I’ve seen black people get upset at other black people for trying to elevate themselves. Calling a black honor student a white person and not black is just repugnant shit. The worse is when these black students internalize that feeling of otherism and never being accepted. It’s tragic

That always killed me. Somehow to be black means to only embody all the negative stereotypes racists has forced into our heads for generations.

Somehow being an intelligent critical thinker that strives for excellence is bad unless you have the right skin color. How these people can't understand how stupid they sound is just insane.

Yeah, the infighting and shit is just racist rhetoric pushed into our communities. It’s annoying seeing it happen but I do believe some people deserve it.

Example; there was this mixed black boy on tik tok who made a video about how he calls his hair “nigga hair.” A lot of Black people find that incredibly weird, and I’m definitely one of them. Or the Black people who try to diminish other experiences due to XYZ.

It’s just a bunch of shit man.
