Too many black people seem to have the same story. And I know when I was in elementary and middle school, the darker you were, the fatter you were, the nappier you were, the ashier you were, the cornier you were, you got it bad. And it was consistent. We wouldn't let up.
A Nigerian girl that I was in elementary school got teased to no end. She was, as far as I could remember, not attractive. We thought she was ugly. She constantly got teased. Today, she is drop dead gorgeous. But to this day she will not post full pictures of herself on social media.
That shyt stays with you. And I'm not judging nobody for how they react to mental, physical, and verbal trauma that they had to endure as kids.
It's fight or flight. That is the natural human response. I am not going to judge you if you decide to flee.
We need to be more introspective as a people with the factors that are causing people to want to leave.
We're too small in numbers to have some among our ranks working against us. That's a house divided.
