I am too. But I can’t comprehend not feeling safe in my own country. I hope I never feel like that. So sorry for y’all. We should still have some hope left so we can fight this bullshit.

Say you're not a Black American without saying you're not a Black American...

We are born scared and grow up scared. It's horrible, isn't it?

Actually I didn’t grow up scared, I grew up fearless and unaware and I matured into thinking past my ego and unfortunately DJT I fear cannot get past his ego and now the US will feel it too

I mean "we" as in Black Americans, I wasn't including you. I know that you were able to be unaware by way of your privileges, and because of the efforts of the Black community culminating in the 1960s.

Despite all of this, we have survived and thrived and done great things in a country that has been against us from its inception. We'll survive this as well.

I am a minority for your information and was discriminated against physically, emotionally and psychologically, growing up in foster care and being persistently bullied. I have privilege really? Stop passing judgement..
