I'll admit that having having two loving parents who instilled a will in me to work hard is a privilege, but it's not something I attribute to my race. I plan on doing the exact same thing for my son. I sure as hell don't feel guilty about it.

People grow up in less than ideal situations all over the world, and yes it's a shame...I wish no one had to. I have control over raising exactly one person on this planet and I do everything in my power provide a nurturing environment. Sue me if that's wrong.

Everybody just stop for a minute and imagine what it would be like to be black in America these days.

Amen.


P.S. I am triggered and demand you account for your whiteness and the privilege that comes with it.

You better check your privilege, oppressor.
