EM POC ONLY!!!

This is home for me.

I love all of my comrades on c/em_poc, but I wanna especially give a huge shoutout to @sweet_pecan@hexbear.net for doing a lot to help me keep my composure. I don't know if they quite realize how much I appreciate them!

Each and every single one of you makes me feel less alone through these struggles, though.

I hope all of you are well! sankara-bass

    I don't know if I'm just a bitter old man already but whenever I hear other grown black men whine and complain about being a nerd I find it irksome. Like bro I get it, I was bullied and shit too. I feel for you I really do, but at the same time, we are grown. Just like whatever shit you like man. It isn't a big deal. No one cares. It's fine, like what you like, do your thing. It also doesn't make you special, everyone likes nerdshit now.

    It'd be different we were in like middle-school or high school, but my brother we have 401ks now, just buy your little figures and shut the fuck up.

      They never got over getting curved by their own people in middle/high school and let that gouge in their mind become their whole personality as an adult. Can't tell me that's not a significant source of misleadership.

        For real! So many of the big "black excellence™℠®©" types really ooze with that sort of insecurity. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it truly did a number on them in your youth, especially back in the day. I don't discount that, however I do think at a certain point (especially those with greater means) you continue to victimize yourself by not letting yourself move past that.
