sometimes i just don’t get it

i don’t get how some of the stuff that seems perfectly crystal clear

is a mystery to other people

stuff i’ve had no education or formal learning to understand.

and yet.

i can see the pattern. understand the causation.

and i just don’t get it.

race is an invention of white supremacy

white supremacy was necessary to justify white colonialism

how do i know this?

because i have eyes. ears. skin. mouth. nose.

because i live. see. hear. touch. taste. smell.

because i exist
