This is how they pimp you.

They cut your face and then they give you the stitches.

And then they nurse you back to health.

And you forget that they the one that cut your face.

So understand how the trauma affects everyone a little differently.

Stockholm Syndrome is a real thing.

A lot of the people that you grew up in the same house with under the same parenting, growing up in the same timeframe, and you will see them kiss the ass of the system while rejecting their blackness, while rejecting their Hispanic-ness, while rejecting their African-ness, while rejecting their Caribbean-ness, while rejecting their Indian-ness.

They start to become a lot coconut curry.

Coconut curry, they forget what the colonizer did and they try to be more like the colonizer.

They try to please the colonizer in hopes that they will no longer be colonized.

Trying to please a colonizer is a telltale sign that you have been colonized.

So you have to recognize the overlaps in experience, even if that's not ethnically.

You may be Syrian.

You may be Palestinian.

I may be black American.

This person may be Haitian.

Are we all oppressed by the system?

When they say immigrants, does that mean all of us can get stopped when they say black?

Does that mean all of us can get stopped when they say illegal?

Does that mean all of us can get stopped?
