The grownups in my life told me that after slavery, there were no "real" problems for black people.
That was the narrative I was fed as a kid.  And now the #GQP wants to go back to that model of education.  You know-
 
-the REVISIONIST one.
 
Some of the kids I grew up with are actual loud and proud Nazis now. 
 
 I wonder why.

"After slavery ended, everything was just peachy for blacks in America," the grownups told me. They lied.

Welcome, all the zero of you listening to this pointless audio Journal. This is where I get things off my chest and out of my system so I won't be preoccupied by them in my daily life. Anyone with two eyes and two ears, a functioning brain, and a functioning conscience living in America right now probably has a lot of disturbing things to get off their chest. Blogging and journaling don't provide, at least for me, the same cathartic release that discussing these things out loud provide, but when I'm with my friends and loved ones, we have better things to talk about, so I vent it all here.
