  • Yes, life is harder for you as a black person. You'll always have to work harder and behave better than a white person in the same situation. Yes, that's extremely unfair.

    But the thing is, it gets better. It's not getting better as fast as it should, and that sucks, but it's still getting better. A lot of white people love to point out how much worse it was for previous generations as a way of dismissing or diminishing what you experience today, and I'm not doing that at all...but things are better today than they were yesterday. And, more importantly, they'll be better tomorrow than they are today.

    That's why your parents had you, because they knew your life would be better than theirs. And if you have children, their life will be better than yours. That's why black people have children. And you, personally, can help make sure life is better for them. That's the hope you have as a black person.

    • What a crock of marshmallowed condescending idealistic shit. Black people are like white people. They have children because they get boozed up impulsively and go fuck. This is not junior high school. Go wash your vagina.
