my whole life i have existed in majority white spaces. i went to a white school in a white town where i lived with my white family. i spent my summers at a white summer camp run by a white religious organization. i'm used to these kinds of spaces, and feel pretty comfortable in them. i know the right things to say at the right times. i know so well how to opperate in these spaces that i am so frequently told that i'm not really black, that i'm different than other black people. even though i know these messages are bullshit, they're hard not to internalize.
