#it's always the insecure alabastards (or people in general) who are taking jabs at people who they think should be “beneath” them

That post about how society doesn't like to see an intelligent Black person brought back the memory of that pale blond boy stealing my math homework while I went to the bathroom in ART CLASS cause he decided not to do the work itself and accept just taking a 0 for that ONE assignment. The violation of my belongings when he decided to go into my backpack to see my work still pisses me off to this day since there wasn't any level of decency to at least ASK. Disrespectful af and in line with how alabastards are raised to expect to just take from Black people. Huge fuck you to [redacted]
Also brings back the old blond alabastard sub who marveled at how "articulate" I am (I didn't know at the time that it was a racist comment -- despite living in NC all my life I was in an urban area and my family aren't from the south so I guess the old prejudiced broad was used to images of Black people as unintelligent n******)
Reminds me of the white mediocrity that plagued many of the boys in my high school who assumed they would get accepted into [top state university] but didn't -- while of course my Black ass somehow also got into [prestigious private university]
And fuck you to that white Latino boy who was in my 2019 summer program who essentially questioned me on how I ended up getting into my prestigious undergrad university. I by no means have any legacy at these places, so of course I did well in school and had some extracurriculars like the rest of the marginalized folks that went to my university, dummy
#this might get personal#it's way too often those lowkey passive aggressive comments from others cause they at least knew not to be overtly racist#I wasn't even a tryhard kid like others I just did what was expected of me (I have an African father)#I dedicated my non-school time to a few activities that I enjoyed#and I wrote a great common app essay about my lifelong passion for art#even if the affirmative action helped me along the way IT WAS NEEDED THERE AREN'T ENOUGH BLACK PEOPLE IN THESE INSTITUTIONS#the past couple of years I've definitely grown my confidence of my place in academic spaces#it's always the insecure alabastards (or people in general) who are taking jabs at people who they think should be “beneath” them#let me go and start my day
