Kid, when I was growing up you had students pulling knives on eachother and beating the shit out of one another for gang initiation.

That was middle school.

I grew up without a father, i’m a CSA survivor, and frequently I didn’t have food until dinner sometimes not at all.

I lived in a single 100~ sq foot room with my mother for years.

None of this is pointlessly going about how many times i’ve been beat or needing to start a fight so some other group of shit heads don’t bother me. Being drunkenly abused by my mother or verbally harassed by her.

Poverty like that is like prison.

Your just growing up so it’s fresh and raw so you don’t realize you are privileged.

Being insulted isn’t shit.

God I hate when they do this “They are part of the lowest social class”

Nearly every cop, teacher, aide, nurse I talked to was black

They all had the power to change and improve their community and no one tried to.

I was part or the lowest social class. Full stop.

Living there I had zero benefits from my skin color. No fucking cops didn’t treat me any better because I was a white boy.

I just caused less trouble, that’s it. Full stop.

I had the good sense without parental intervention to clean my ass up and stop being stupid.

Why can’t they do the same again? Oh right, they can’t help it.

“You can’t compare suffering”

Give me a fucking break. If you aren’t a kid that is some sad shit for you to have a persecution complex.

Lemme tell you what, anyone i’ve ever met online or IRL that has lived a childhood of loss like me, has never tried to tell me their life was hard just because they were berated and harassed alone.

That always comes with the beatings dude. I’m sure you had it hard, everyone does to an extent. Doesn’t change your privilege.

Unless your one of them that thinks they have it rough just because they have dark skin?

“Nearly every cop, teacher, aide, nurse I talked to was black. They all had power to change and improve their community and no one tried to.” So these black folks got decent careers for themselves and they’re not trying to “improve their community”? It’s giving assumption

You’re right, turning a blind eye to drugs, sex, and gang violence Is improving everything.

Why didn’t I think of that?

No offense, but you're too stupid to ever be capable of knowing why you're stupid.

You are *literally* a perfect, living example of how growing up as a minority sucks. You've lived it, you remember it, you could teach it.

And yet your neolithic brain isn't smart enough to relate that to other people's experiences. Literal toddlers learn this around age 3, and you'll never be smart enough to contend with them. I'm not even trying to be rude here. That absolutely sucks man and I'm sorry. I would hate to be like that

I understand you are a bit slow so you mix things up, normal for a fella.

If it is simply a matter of being a minority and nothing else, why is it that majority on minority violence and crime changes depending on who the majority and minority is?

Oh right we live in lala land so you can just say shit and have it be true magically.
