This is so powerful. Thank you so much for writing it. 

We definitely do it to our own. Black people are the ones who love describing black girls as ‘fast’. 

This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for the work you are doing to help our community heal. My family: my mother has depression and probably a whole host of undiagnosed shit, my dad was an alcoholic, I have two schizophrenic cousins. But don’t you dare mention the words ‘mental illness’. My family

right! Binge drinking is a national past-time in America. Especially so for people who work in the hospitality industry. They all drink like crazy, which is why his co-workers probably didn’t blink an eye.

He sounds like a great young man. Looking forward to seeing the things he goes on to accomplish.

They are fucking lunatics who lose their minds at the sight of black people. This is crazy. And from the sound of that lady at the end ‘Alonzo, go inside!’ a black child had to witness this

Damn, he seems like an incredibly good man. Wow.
