I saw the news about a swimmer who took their life at SLU……
I guess we should all cry and feel sad?
So let me get this right:
When WHITE kids can’t have life as usual
When WHITE kids can’t handle the truth
When WHITE kids have inconsistencies
When WHITE kids lives are disrupted
When WHITE kids aren’t used to something
When WHITE kids don’t like or want to
When WHITE kids can’t have people catering to their ever whim
When WHITE kids don’t have rules bending for them
When WHITE kids are overwhelmed the world should stop because of MENTAL ILLNESS?
No, they are weak minded AF
No, they are spineless AF
No, they are incompetent AF
No, they are ineffective AF
No, they are sad AF.
Dr. King said it best, “INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE.”
Until PEOPLE care about what happens to BLACK CHILDREN, WOMEN AND MEN, why should we CONTINUE to care about grown ass WHITE kids, women and men who should be able to deal with flexibilities, rapid change just like poor Blacks and whites HAVE to?
Travel down this road with me…….
