This hurts. Itās happened all my life. Iām a black 21 year old guy. I was adopted before i was even 6 months old. My birth mother had a drug issue and i was lucky i wasnāt born addicted. I was lucky to be given up for a better life and not the life they were given. Iām blessed with the family i have now. People i call mom and dad and my brother and sisters. I love them to death. But people donāt seem to see it this way. My family is white. Iām black. My whole life iāve been told iām a fake black kid or iām not āreally blackā because i live with white people. This shit hurts me everytime. And it hurts even more because the ONLY ppl iāve ever heard that from are people who LOOK LIKE ME. People who are MY skin color. People who are black. My own race. My own people. Theyāve shut me out my whole fucking life and it hurts so bad and just because of who my family is? It stopped for a while i hadnāt heard anything for years. Until today. I was told that they would never hangout with me because i ādress like a white personā because i have white parents. I was told that Iād never experience what black people actually experience and that I have white privilege. I was told i canāt complain about my life because i live the perfect life because i live with white people. All of this was said to me by a black person. Why canāt i just be accepted. Itās not like i asked to be adopted. Iām so tired of this it really makes me not want to live anymore, itās embarrassing and it hurts so bad. And they are wrong. I HAVE been discriminated against on multiple occasions bc of my skin color, and that hurt too. Idk what to do and would love advice.
