KEEPIN IT HUNNA: It's Hard Being A Black Man In Ameica (WITH THAT, I'm Still Proud Of My Blackness)

[SirReginald]

I'm not gonna lie, it's hard as a 21 year old to be Black in American As a kid, I use to think that racism was just made up Learned the hard way when I went to Alabama in 2010. Also, last year at my first job, I was harassed by my white retail manager a lot (was a racist white guy) I eventually left that store. He wanted to fire me. Then, had a rough time at 7-11 Now, I'm here searching for work and want to go back to school.


STILL, with all that I love the struggle because it makes you strong. I'm glad that I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth I love my skin, culture, and everything that defines my Blackness.

True, and at my first job I was respectful and was always the first one there. Plus, I went the extra mile and was STILL hated. Sucked because I thought I was gonna get promoted and etc.

It really is hard and I think that people forget because it's everyday stuff. But really, being a black american dude also comes with a lot of perks.

[The Oracle]

lets say you are right, and struggling makes people tougher

so you use that toughness to become a successful wealthy man, and then your kids, who never had to struggle a day in their lives thanks to you, will be soft as charmin, right?

sounds like a hell of a vicious cycle
