00:00:21.840
From Reddit, true off my chest, we have a Lord Darovit, stop being scared of me cause
00:00:27.480
I'm black, I can't do anything about it, that hurts, it hurts, it hurts his feelings.
00:00:34.800
Both men and women move to the other sidewalk when they see me walking, hey did you know
00:00:38.600
that people can just keep moving if they want to, or they can cross the road, they can just
00:00:42.220
take their bodies and move them where they want to, did you know that, and you can't
00:00:48.240
You're not entitled to them walking near you, you're not entitled to them being in your proximity.
00:00:55.020
I see people who would normally sit on the bench at the bus stop choose to stand instead
00:01:04.340
We don't have to sit next to you, we don't have to be near you, we can get up any time
00:01:08.620
It doesn't matter why you think we even got up.
00:01:10.620
You can assume it's because you're black, a lot of times maybe it is, sometimes maybe
00:01:15.100
In every single case it's none of your fucking business.
00:01:17.340
The lady chooses not to get on the elevator and says in a nervous voice, I'll just get
00:01:27.560
I take my brother who is autistic to the park in a wealthier area and people stare at us
00:01:33.460
He has awkward fits and then people really stare.
00:01:40.340
I mean, a lot of people that have like an autistic child or a child with any other kind of serious
00:01:46.380
developmental issue, that's a problem for everyone.
00:01:52.340
You're not disproportionately impacted by that, okay?
00:01:55.400
I have headphones in sometimes when I'm out, but I'm just listening to some audio book
00:01:59.220
like the Stormlight Archive or some Star Wars book.
00:02:02.120
I don't know why, but this enhances the dirty looks, especially from older people.
00:02:09.340
Maybe they just don't think I'm being smart or aware of my surroundings, as older folks
00:02:14.360
No, you seem to be perfectly too aware of your surroundings, maybe, and you should fucking
00:02:17.780
maybe learn to don't mind your business, you know?
00:02:20.840
Stop worrying about the direction people are looking in.
00:02:23.260
Stop worrying about what they're thinking of you.
00:02:25.300
It's none of your fucking business and you're being a baby and you need to stop obsessing
00:02:34.700
So I don't know what to think about that, he says.
00:02:40.720
As soon as I get online in a game, I'm in-ordered or whatever as soon as I talk, so I play
00:02:48.720
I've had experiences like this ever since I was a teenager.
00:02:52.720
Would you like to hear about some of the experiences that we've had around people that look like
00:02:57.740
Because I've got lots of stories, just check my channel.
00:03:03.900
Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing things that aren't there, but many of these encounters
00:03:10.740
All of this has made me gravitate towards race-based arguments online and I'll blow up on people
00:03:20.440
I'm going to grant you at least that you have a mind and so that there's something mental
00:03:27.420
But you do need to learn to mind your fucking business.
00:03:30.680
You know, I'm impressed by your grammar, your vocabulary, your perfect punctuation.
00:03:37.680
You clearly are a step above, you know, the rest.
00:03:41.440
You're clearly like the 10% that the other 90% make look bad, clearly.
00:03:46.660
And yet still, you need to learn to mind your fucking business.
00:03:50.220
If they're not impeding on you, they can go wherever they want for any reason, you know?
00:03:58.300
It could be because they just straight up don't like you in general.
00:04:01.020
It could be because they just feel like doing that.
00:04:03.680
It could be because they're somewhere else they've got to be going and none of this is
00:04:10.480
You're not entitled to people being around you, okay?
00:04:12.740
I know that you people think that access to white people especially is a human right.
00:04:16.920
You think you have more of a right to be around us than we have a right to be around
00:04:24.660
So stick with your own, stop crying, and let people move on with their day.
00:04:30.780
They don't have to behave a certain way around you.
00:04:33.380
See, this is why it's so fucking tiresome with you people.
00:04:36.280
It's like, you know, it's like when you see somebody that has like grave injuries and you
00:04:43.780
Like, you're like, yo, I don't want to look and make them feel like I'm staring at them,
00:04:47.380
but I also don't want to not look and, you know, make it make them feel like I'm completely
00:04:57.880
Um, and you know, stories like this where you cry and whine about it, it just reinforces
00:05:05.520
It makes the fatigue even worse because I'm also tired of you people bitching about it.
00:05:12.520
You know, would it really be that difficult to just mind your fucking business and stop,
00:05:17.520
and stop, you know, thinking that you're a victim of every possible circumstance, any
00:05:22.420
particular type of look or gesture or movement that you don't like out of a white person you
00:05:26.880
think that you get to get up in arms about it and cry.
