'We’re trained to be like, ‘If I’m not exceptional, I won’t be loved.’

All of us has this trained into us.

"I am feel uncomfortable when we are not about me?"

[clairelittleton]

What?

[muffintiem]

YES PRO BIRD RIGHTS

[clairelittleton]

Oh I get it now because I'm slow sorry can't blame me for that but, you completely missed the plot. Poor that.

[lanrek]

oh

*adds to your note*

[clairelittleton]

That's what to your note? Where is society especially women, go through exactly that on a daily basis. Why you guys making something into nothing? I agree with their comment.

[muffintiem]

you're centering yourself and your experiences when Ncuti is specifically talking about the struggles Black people face

Thank you, all high and mighty.

[colossusx]

that's not remotely true for everyone. you can't just say things, claire.

[clairelittleton]

Are you kidding me? This is why women today are constantly fighting again for our rights, because we were trained all our lives that if we're not exceptional we are failures.

This sounds like a you problem. Good luck with that.

[colossusx]

lol when and how did his statement become about women's rights? YOU introduced that in a desperate attempt to not look stupid. he is a man who was talking about black PEOPLE as a whole.

[clairelittleton]

Right and as a woman I felt it, as a knee jerk because I'm tired of women having to go through this too. But that doesn't mean I'm ignoring his experience or dismissing
his experience on what he's going through as well.

How about having a conversation instead of attacking people with this stupid emojis and assumptions.

Grow up.

[colossusx]

Congrats, you managed to make a thread in this post about a black man describing his lived experienced about YOU. Weirdo behavior.

“We ALL have it tough” okay Victoria Justice

[clairelittleton]

I think some of you need to go touch grass. That's not what was going through my mind whatsoever about downing a black man. But in the end I really don't care what a stranger on the internet thinks about me and how I feel. Just remember the next time other people comment about themselves and other posts because they can somewhat relate to some things that are being done to others. In the meantime keep on with those pigeon, vomit, s***-emojis, you do them so well.
