One think that really irks me, is people assuming the black community is monolithic. I dislike the stereotype that besides being cool/ghetto, nothing else is considered black enough.

It doesn't particularly affect my social life or life, as I'm the nerdy autistic black type and have found people similar /understanding but it bothers me because we get the most scrutinised for doing anything else. Mental slavery really affected the whole black population in both The West, Africa and the Carribean.

Mental slavery is real and I just hope more emphasis is put onto healing. Individual healing and community healing. Black trauma cycles need to be broken. The self hate due to differences and colourism debates, all distractions from bigger issues.

I enjoy being black / dark skinned and just being black, no matter how a person presents personality wise, should be enough.
