Sick and Tired by Shihan.
agreed.
Does that put it into perspective for you?
Seriously. I always have to try to put this into perspective for people. People act like slavery was so distant. My mom is older in relation to my age (she had me at 43), and her father was older when she was born (in his early 50’s) and was born in the late 1800’s. One of his PARENTS was born into slavery. For people like my mom, this isn’t the least bit distant. My mom grew up in the Jim Crow south. History is so depersonalized that people can act like slavery, Jim Crow, and blatantly racist institutions existed in 1800 BC
pretty much.
if you ever read anything about life during jim crow times which was just like, 60+ years ago, its like such a drastic picture i dont understand how people think such aggressive or volatile or homicidal attitudes will disappear in a short period of time (particularly when few meaningful steps have been taken to rectifying problems like unemployment, incarceration, police brutality, residential and education segregation, etc)

My family has a scale in our upstairs bathroom and even when I’m trying not to weigh myself, I feel an insurmountable amount of pressure and anxiety every time I step foot in there.
I sometimes feel like the scale is talking to me, saying:
Be careful. I’m watching you. Judging you. You can’t avoid me forever and you will pay.
