Dude I grew up dirt poor on govt cheese in the 70s and 8os. Homeless at times, hunted and fished more for food than bought it
Sheltered? Nah.
Saddened.... Dismayed? Yes
Maybe sheltered isn't the right word.
You grew up in a nurturing home.
Everyone didn't have that luxury, and many grew up to be assholes.
I watched my father try to kill my mother and was on the streets at 16. Nice try
I don't say that in a mean way. I will not pretend to know your story. I can't. Especially those who are poc( I don't know yours and am not trying to be personal so I'm not asking )
What I'm saying is I can't understand a poc's full experience. I'll never have to tell my kid to watch out for cops because of his skin color.
I can, however, understand how others sink into the anger despair and rage. I know what it's like to wake in a jail cell, I know what hardship really is.
I also know that it is never overcome through cruelty. In fact that puts everyone, including the perpetrator, in a worse place.
So again. We don't have to be this shitty to each other.
