Chi Town B, You're A Hater Fan

So for you to have received that book at 23, kinda makes sense... But at the same time it doesn't. It should have been required reading in at least jr high or high school. It was required reading for me in the 6th grade at a predominately white school in the district's "gifted" program. I would have expected Philly would have done something similar. You should have grown up with that knowledge.


you grew up in the 60s

i grew up in the 00’s

so this whole conversation is moot
 
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 said something similar to this to Loca back on the old block.
