Be honest with yourself:ohhh:

How often to you feel oppressed or discriminated against?

What are you expections of "fair" treatment and do you feel you are being treated humanely? How about others from your racial social group?

Do you feel your racism and oppression is "normal" now? Or do you find yourself uncomfortable daily?

All i know is that im becoming very frustrated and i feel trapped and caged.
Do you feel like a "normal" person for having this caged and trapped feeling everyday?

If you didnt feel that way would you be ignorant or is the oppression not real?

I feel the same way.
How can you not in this environment as a black person?

Even some of these 6 figga "I'm beyond race/I don't let racism effect me or my life" post-racial nikkas come off to me as full of shyt.

I live life in detachment so racism doesn't affect me.

Remember power is given not taken.

I think we are aware that certain prejudices will and can occur against us in life. I wouldn't say we think it's normal because that would imply that we accept the shyt and we don't.
Younger people always talking shyt about "I dont know how slavery lasted as long as it did, If i was alive back then ...blah blah blah"

Why do you think these prejudices still exists here in this country? Younger generation believes that they stronger than their ancestor slaves were, so why are these prejudices here with all these strong black people around...

What do you mean by that breh? Speak on it seriously
I mean the opinion is if you're discriminated against in anyway or aren't white you can be considered black. I've had friends tell me stuff like that and dudes on here sometimes follow a similar line of thinking. It's stupid but that's how they feel :yeshrug:
