“Because everyone gets to form opinions about your situation…while silently celebrating the fact that no one is discussing the details of theirs. How do…Don’t ask me how I know. I hate that this is happening to him but this situation is a part of a bigger conversation. Which is the obsession some of our hue has with finding self-worth through their proximity to what our ‘sAViOr’ deems worthy. Some of us need to attach ourselves to the counterparts of a particular race because society has reinforced the fallacy of our inadequacy for so long. And when a heavily hued individual is too busy buying into what another race deems valuable…a permanent disconnect from our own heritage can occur. That disconnection makes it impossible for us to play our role as ‘elder’ to the younger generations properly because we’re no longer connected to our essence.”
