I've been so accustomed to receiving bad news that I just assume life is like that for everyone
Person: I went to visit (name) as well
Me: Shame what happened to her
Person: Nothing, she just had a baby
Everyone in the replies saying ‘you’re quick to point out he’s white.’ Yes, because if they didn’t, random black and brown people would be targeted up and down the country under the assumption he wasn’t.
I remember someone saying they buy gifts for both of their kids on the others birthday, so no feels left out & that’s another mf problem I got. Not teaching your kids that everything won’t always be for or about them. & learning how to celebrate others!
