mm…well stereotypes exist cuz of truth but often times we have been programmed to believe as such..unless its another demographic

well it’s like this… i watch how people move around my stuff carefully because theft is always a possibility. when people move a certain way it draws my attention. and i think it’s a coincidence that they’ve always been a certain gender and race but that’s been my observation. obviously I don’t think they’re they only ones capable… anyone is. but somehow when i pick up that vibe it comes from them. I find it more curious than anything else.

is it a new car or old one….trust me accident yes it goes up but remember your car depreciates and if your car is older than 5 years u gonna pay less than 2K TT

It’s older. No the point I was making was that with the no claim bonus the price went down from last year but it went down much more than it should have given what they said the no claim bonus was.

its sad…though in T&T, whiteness is the exception but immense amounts of privilege still attaches itself to it

Yes this is true. And I have expressed many times how uncomfortable I am in their presence, much more so than with whites from other places. But I do not feel afraid around them. I do not feel othered. I’m generally just disgusted by them and how they segregate themselves from the rest of society because they still hold on to the belief that they are somehow better.

i thought i was the only one….i preferred to post the dave chappelle skit cuz his songs make me blush too much to post on facebook hahahah

actually his dirty songs are my favourites. I used to listen to his albums like they were my religion. The Purple Rain album was… I can’t explain in words how important it was to me at that time in my life. Holding that album in my hands I felt like someone had handed me the Holy Grail.  And the Sign Of The Times album. And Around The World In A Day…. I will try to put it into words at some point. I don’t really have the ability to articulate it at this point. I don’t know if I ever will.
