you just got to keep doing you. i know it is harder for a black individual to make it further, but never let that discourage you. you just have to keep pushing, striving, and aiming high. all i can say is keep f*cking **** up and f*ck what the rest think.
Can't imagine - these days I am incredibly aware of how easy life is as a white male. People respect me for no reason. It's easy.
IDK what being black is like, but after seeing how my Asian friends are treated in New Zealand, the endless subtle rudeness and lack-of-respect they receive is just gross. And the people doing it would claim they're not racist and wouldn't even know they're doing it.
