This is a reminder that the Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted 13 months and the Civil Rights Movement took over 10 years, so next time you want to tell us to “get over Ferguson”, “its been long enough” “You’re not making any difference” remember that.
The worst feeling ever is like, “well I’m really fucking used to this happening but it still really fucking hurt”
Things you probably should not do while black:
- Jaywalk
- Use a BB gun
- Play with a toy gun
- Cosplay
- Ask a neighbor for help
- Walk in a dimly lit stairwell
- Walk home from a party
- Play music loudly
- Hold a wallet while on your porch
- Drive
I’ll stop here, but the list goes on….
You forgot to put breathing
Your 20’s are your ‘selfish’ years. It’s a decade to immerse yourself in every single thing possible. Be selfish with your time, and all the aspects of you. Tinker with shit, travel, explore, love a lot, love a little, and never touch the ground.
