Self-Respect
Last night I saw the kind of shit that really upsets me. I can’t stand Black folks in denial. I saw this one chick, her friend, and this gay dude hanging out and the girl’s friend kept touching her breast and talking about how they look like brown this and brown that and marveling at them like she was some kind of animal at a petting zoo. The chick told the guy (there was this wasted White Russian guy spitting at her) that she doesn’t know why her friend is acting like that; she also asked her friend the same thing. (I also peeped her body language and noticed that she seemed really pissed off by how her “friend” was treating her as well.) Now, people may wonder why does this bother me well, the reason it bothered me is because I’ve had folks try to do that shit to me before, but I check their asses or treat them just as condescending as they’re acting. That stuff reminds me of the slave days where slaves where brought out and looked at in spectacle as potential slave owners thou
