Yeah. I wish people had some way to alert each other. I hope he's at peace too 🥺

oh no, what happened to the car?

Anyway, turns out he jumped off his building roof a few days ago. 🥺😭

I would've never even known dude was sad. He was so happy looking, well spoken, and gregarious. He masked so well. I wish I knew smh. Same struggle, different coping mechanism.

So now everybody's involved & they wouldn't stop talking about so I literally ran outside because I hate being perceived...I was cracking up and traumatized at the same time. He gave me a really good laugh that day though. Like bro I just wanted some Funyuns, what is happening 🤣🤣🤣

Now ofc niggas always gotta escalate things so he drags the guy behind the counter into it like it's a town hall meeting, and the Arab cashier is like “Nah, she’s not white… maybe like a Black-white mix? Or Black and Hispanic?” I am mortified lmao

This big, jovial Caribbean man took one look at me and immediately turned to my mom & said, “Why is she white?” 😭

Before I could even process anything, he’s asking my mom what my father looked like...so I start yelling, “I’m Black!” and this man has the audacity to go, “Nooo… I’M Black.” LMFAO

So there was this one time I was in the bodega and got put on trial for my Blackness by a complete stranger holding a bag of plantain chips... 🤣

I'm sure my shriek was jarring for him but in my head all I heard was "in the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous..." and then i reacted 😭

Wait... What happened? I didn't know

Killing scientists? Are these not war crimes? Did he not say when he was running that he wouldn't get us involved in any more wars?

Every day with him in office is waking up and saying "what fresh hell is this?"

On Juneteenth and forever…

Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched.
