How do you mentally cope as a black man?

[King]

Knowing the entire system is against our very existence and we are literally at the bottom of the racialized caste system hierarchy?

How does it feel knowing that most of us won’t make it out of poverty at worst and mediocrity as best, if we weren’t lucky enough to be born or put into position?

How does it feel knowing that even if you manage to make it out, you’ll have to sell apart of yourself and live as a hypocrite in order to maintain whatever economic means you have accumulated?

How does it feel knowing that despite however hard we fight, how much effort we put in, most of us will still come out at the bottom?

Honest reflections only. Don’t come in here, shoftshoe, and try to downplay the existence of systemic racism and the plight of the black man in this world. This is real life, not a fukking fairytale.

It can be tough to reckon with, and there’s a fine line between being “woke” enough to want & pursue change vs. enjoying life as an individual.

There’s some solace in knowing the black population worldwide is set to grow the fastest even with the poor economic/health conditions. I choose to think that means we’ll inevitably grow in power and status on the world stage…we just need the right leadership in Africa however difficult that sounds.

That’s why I made a thread on contextualizing the experience of black men in this society. If you don’t feel the need to contribute, ignore it.
