Chi Town B, You're A Hater Fan

This makes the overcompensating make alot more sense. You're part of the "I didnt realize I was Black til social media told me how to be Black" group. Niggas like that seem like they gotta be over the top in their opinions cuz they're playing catch up to people who didnt have to wait til their mid 20s to realize how this country operates and views them

Yep, i was 15 when my pops handed me the autobiography of malcolm x. Shit, changed my life.
 
I been like 100 ho's, 500 coons and a bunch of other shit the last couple weeks and I never called her out her name. The physical violence is a no go

?????? social media did not shape my ideologies. it was being gifted the autobiography of malcolm x by my uncle at 23

im not overcompensating. this idea that folks hop out the womb with a revolutionary politic is wild lmaooo


futhermore at 31, im happy to have the ability to see things for what they are. ive grown and learned a lot along the way

I never said people are born with revolutionary politics. Never even hinted at it. Ive been very much critical of that very idea before on here. I just pointed out a common theme among people who admittedly as you said didn't "come into their blackness" until their mid to late 20s as you admitted you. It's good you've learned and grown but you still have alot of learning and growing to do and your approach to things shows that in a glaringly obvious way. Because there's no way in 7 years you've grown and learned enough and/or more than people who were raised and brought up in and around people and an environment that taught them from a young age just how this world views and treats Black people. There's a stark difference between people who were told these things from a young age vs those who as you did just got into it when they were older. It's not a shot at you as much of an observation that gives insight into why you approach shit the way you do.

I vividly remember my mother telling me at like 8years old "You're a black male...you automatically have 2 strikes against you"...I have Rastafarian uncles and aunts who I basically grew up with who had me and my brothers and cousins reading and watching all sorts of documentaries about then history of Black people globally. Shit my uncle literally had the "Willie Lynch" letter hanging framed in his house. You saw that shit everytime you went down to the basement. I knew that shit by heart by the time I was like 13. Shit like that definitely shapes how you view the world and the people in it in relation to being a Black person. As you get older you can filter out truth and logic on your own but simply being introduced to that stuff at a young age I never had the "Oh so this is how the world views me" nigga wake up call moment. My parents and other elders shattered that myth early on and I'm grateful to them for it. Saved slot of time and hurt feelings.
